SUMMARY:Presentation on the Light River Rail Bridge Project
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nThe Light River Rail Bridge\, located at 54.544km on the Adelaide to Crystal Brook track\, is being replaced due to its age and approaching end-of-service life. The bridge\, constructed around 1915\, is being replaced with a new bridge designed for 300LA loading and a 100-year lifespan\, with an appropriate maintenance plan. Construction is underway\, with the bridge being trial-fitted before painting. \n🌏 Bobbi’s Bar and Restaurant\, Hilton Hotel\, 264 South Road Hilton SA 5033 6:00-9:00pm ACST \n📅 Thursday 21st August 2025 \n🎫 Register for the event below \n💰 This event is free for RTSA and Engineers Australia members\, and $30AUD for non-members. \nAbout the speaker\n\n\n\nJames Farrall\nPrincipal Rail Engineer – Tonkin\n\n\nJames is a Chartered Professional Engineer with experience in the multidisciplinary design management and construction delivery of large transport infrastructure\, with a focus on rail (passenger and freight)\, civil structures\, ports and resources. He is highly experienced working in complex brownfield environments and can readily assess interface impacts which may arise during project development to improve delivery. \nHis primary interest and competency areas are design management and project management\, where his technical knowledge\, organisational skills and leadership qualities allow him to build strong team relationships and deliver co-ordinated\, high quality project outcomes. James employs a pragmatic and practical approach to projects with a keen focus on safety in design\, hazard identification\, discipline co-ordination and detailing\, constructability and maintenance issues\, and strives to meet the highest standards of quality and accuracy in engineering deliverables and outputs. \n\n\n  \n \n\nAdam Yates\nProject Manager – Bardavcol\n\n\nAdam has extensive experience in the delivery of complex infrastructure projects across all components of civil construction\, particularly bridges and other structures\, road\, rail and environmental water sectors. With a strong background in both greenfield and brownfield environments\, Adam is skilled at managing multidisciplinary teams and navigating project interface challenges to achieve successful delivery outcomes\, particularly under tight delivery timeframes. \nHis core strength lies in project management\, where his technical knowledge\, practical mindset and leadership capabilities enable him to build effective team relationships and consistently deliver high-quality results. Adam’s ground up experience enables a hands-on approach\, ensuring a strong focus on safety\, constructability\, stakeholder coordination\, and overall ensuring delivery of project to a high standard for Bardavcol’s clients.
