As a provider of rail services across a network that extends the length and breadth of New Zealand, KiwiRail has a significant physical and operational footprint.
Social responsibility and environmental accountability are core to how KiwiRail does business. It’s commitment to good practice in these areas is driven by the KiwiRail value to ‘Care and Protect’. Doing so across the diverse topography that KiwiRail’s operation cover including infrastructure maintenance and renewals, train operations and servicing, Interislander shipping and customer operations in yards and depots, is no small task.

This presentation will cover some of the focuses, initiatives and challenges that KiwiRail has in this space. Looking at where KiwiRail has come from and where it is wanting to go. It will also look to discuss some of the interactions of these goals with railway engineering and technical aspects of managing a railway.
