SUMMARY:SA Event - Structures on the Oaklands Rail Crossing Project
DESCRIPTION:Oaklands Rail Crossing was designed and constructed by the Public Transport Projects Alliance which consists of McConnell Dowell\, Arup\, Mott MacDonald and the Department of Planning\, Transport and Infrastructure (DPTI). The project involved the grade separation of the Seaford rail line from the Morphett Road/ Diagonal Road intersection located in the South West of Adelaide. \nThe design solution was to lower the Seaford rail line underneath Morphett Road with a top down construction approach. To minimise disruption to the community\, the new section of railway and the new Oaklands station were largely constructed offline. Through close collaboration between the design and construction teams\, the rail closure was limited to 24 days\, during which time the new rail was tied into the existing and the station commissioned\, prior to being re-opened for public use. \nThis presentation will provide an overview of the structures on the project\, including discussion of the key design and construction challenges that were faced by the PTP Alliance. \nNote: This is not a RTSA Event but an EA event hosted by Engineers Australia Structural Branch (SA Chapter).

SUMMARY:RTSA - NZ Chapter Event and Webinar - How faster rail changes the economic & social landscape
DESCRIPTION:The RTSA New Zealand and the Engineering New Zealand Auckland Branch invite you to a presentation from Professor Andrew McNaughton\, Strategic Advisor to the UK High Speed 2 Rail project in Auckland on Monday\, 19 August which will also be available for members elsewhere to view live online. \nAndrew McNaughton is a leading authority on high speed rail and chairs the World High Speed Rail Committee. He was the Chief Engineer for the UK High Speed 2 project from 2009 -17 and led the specification\, operational design\, technical strategy and route development for the project. He is currently leading the New South Wales government Fastrail strategy\, as part of its regional development and regeneration agenda\, and is Special Advisor to the Czech Republic Government on similar issues. Andrew is a Professorial Fellow at the University of Southampton and a visiting professor at Imperial College\, London\, and Nottingham University. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProfessor McNaughton was a standout Keynote speaker at the 2010 RTSA Conference on Railway Excellence in Wellington and we are delighted that is able to speak to us during a very short visit to Auckland. \nAndrew’s presentation is very relevant to New Zealand given the current government interest in developing regional rail services to connect our major cities to regional centres. He will draw upon his worldwide experience and demonstrate how using faster rail services to increase the distance that people can travel within defined time periods\, through faster rail services\, such as 30 minute cross city trips\, 1 hour commutes and 2 hour regional connectivity\, results in new economic activity and land use development opportunities. \nThe presentation will  be broadcast as a live webinar for those unable to attend in person. \nPlease use the registration link below to indicate whether you will attend the presentation in Auckland or join online. For those attending in Auckland\, there will be an opportunity for networking with drinks and nibbles provided after the presentation. \nThanks to EY for kindly hosting the meeting and to Beca for sponsoring the networking drinks and nibbles. \n\nMonday 19 August\, 5pm\nEY Offices\, 2 Takutai Square\, Britomart\, Auckland 1010\nRegister here \n\n

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.
