SUMMARY:RTSA - NZ Chapter - July 2019 Presentation - Operating the World's Longest and Heaviest Train
DESCRIPTION:Operating the World’s longest & heaviest train  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOn behalf of RTSA NZ we’d like to invite you to the above presentation. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn Australia’s Pilbara region trains convey processed iron ore from the mines to the ports. These trains are among some of the largest in the world. In a normal day\, these trains will move between 1 and 3 million tonnes of Iron Ore over a nominal haul distance of between 300 – 400 kms.  Due to the regional conditions and market variability of the commodity business\, these railroads have had to constantly optimise and stretch their operating technology to maximise their return on investment. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis presentation provides an overview of the operational considerations that were assessed prior to the operation of the world-record train. This train challenged the operating paradigms at BHPIO and presented a number of unique and complex problems to solve. It also provided valuable data for the business as it endeavoured to grow its operating footprint in a low capital investment environment.  This presentation will review the operation and its operating infrastructure and technology platforms whilst specifically reviewing the operation of the world-record train. \nTrent Ludlow is KiwiRail’s Regional Lead – Upper South Island. Trent has held senior leadership positions at BHP (Coal and Iron Ore businesses)\, Rio Tinto Iron Ore\, Fortescue Metals Group and at Downer Rail.  These roles have been primarily operationally focused\, however Trent was a key leader in the establishment of the first non-railway based above-rail operator in Queensland. \n\n\n\nThe presentation will take place in Christchurch and will be live streamed to Wellington and Auckland. \n\nRegister here \nDetails for each location are noted below: \nChristchurch\nKiwiRail\, L1 conference room\, 15 Midas Place\, Middletom\, Christchurch \nWellington \nKiwiRail\, L4 Boardroom\, Wellington Railway Station\, Bunny Street\, Wellington \nAuckland \nKiwiRail\, L3 Boardroom\, 8-14 Stanley Street\, Auckland

SUMMARY:RTSA - NZ Chapter Event and Webinar - Cleaning the Otira Tunnel
DESCRIPTION:Cleaning the Otira Tunnel \nThe RTSA NZ invite you to an encore of the above presentation in Wellington on Wednesday 31 July\, which will also be available to view as a live webinar. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNeil Mason\, Managing Director of Vitruvius Ltd\, has kindly agreed to make an encore performance of his fascinating presentation on cleaning the Otira Rail Tunnel\, originally given to the RTSA in April\, so that a wider New Zealand and international audience can participate. \nSituated on the Midland Line between Otira and Arthurs Pass in the South Island\, KiwiRail’s Otira rail Tunnel measures an impressive 8.566 km in length and runs through a harsh but fragile alpine environment. At the time of its opening in 1923 it was the longest tunnel in the southern hemisphere. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor the past 30 years the tunnel has conveyed trains carrying uncovered coal wagons up the steep 1 in 33 gradient from Otira\, combined with the ventilation system has deposited sand and coal dust on the floor and walls creating a “mountain range” balanced along the top of power and communication cables. A creative method had to be developed\, using innovative technology\, to remove the deposits by water jets and then remove the particulates from the water to comply with stringent environmental consent conditions\, before discharge into the nearby river. \nNeil has led many interesting and challenging rail projects through his 27 years in the rail industry in NZ and the UK. As Project Manager for KiwiRail for the Otira Tunnel project\, he successfully led the complex design\, challenging consenting phase and testing physical works delivery.  Neil was recently quoted saying “cleaning the Otira Tunnel has been without doubt the toughest project I have ever done.  It could only have been made harder if we were asked to deliver the scope wearing blindfolds” \nWednesday\, 31 July\, 5.30pm (NZ time)\nEngineering New Zealand\, L6\, 40 Taranaki Street\, Wellington\nRegister here \nThere will be an opportunity for networking with drinks and nibbles provided from 5pm. \nThe presentation will also be broadcast as a live webinar for those unable to attend in Wellington\, to take part in the online webinar\, please register here.
