SUMMARY:NZ Chapter Event: Smart Tamp: The Future of Track Maintenance (Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:The Railway Technical Society are pleased to invite you to a webinar discussing ‘Smart Tamp: The Future of Track Maintenance’.\nDesign tamping helps reduce wear and tear on track and rolling stock\, lowers traction costs\, and reduces track maintenance costs by up to 30%. Network Rail can benefit from this in two ways: long-term cost savings and short-term “quick win” savings. \nSmart Tamp is focused on utilizing geodetical track data to maintain railway tracks through tamping. \nInnoTamp was a ground-breaking research project that developed a process that will improve the affordability of design tamping so that it can be rolled out to more of the national rail network – on regular as well as high-speed lines. What tasks were implemented to achieve the goal?: The tasks implemented to achieve the goal were computing relative track parameters from RILA data\, identifying track areas in need of tamping\, creating designs and tamping files in design software\, checking infrastructure clearances against design\, checking ballast quantities against design\, and trialling the results on a live railway. \nNetwork Rail in the United Kingdom has implemented Fugro’s RILA system\, an innovative survey system\, to generate geodetical data on some parts of the network. This data is then used for a variety of projects\, such as providing gauging information for the introduction of new rolling stock and for track renewals. So far\, the RILA system has surveyed over 250 000 km in the UK and has a coverage of over 70% of the rail network. \nWe hope to see you there! \nClick here to register for this event on the Engineering New Zealand website.
