SUMMARY:NZ Chapter Event: Mainline Track Upgrades: Auckland-Wellington and Sydney-Melbourne
DESCRIPTION:Join the Railway Technical Society of Australasia New Zealand Chapter online with Dr Philip Laird to discuss ‘Mainline Track Upgrades: Auckland – Wellington and Sydney – Melbourne’ at 12:30-1:30pm NZT on the 17th November 2021. \nRegister here. \nAuckland and Wellington are linked by the North Island Main Trunk (NIMT) narrow gauge railway of length 681km. Sydney and Melbourne are now linked by a standard gauge railway of length 960 km. Both railways include challenging terrain. \nAn outline is given of former improvements for each of the NIMT railway and the Melbourne to Sydney railway that include deviations for grade easing. Many of the NIMT deviations have led to a reduction in distance. By way of contrast\, each NSW main south line deviation has resulted in extra distance. Further contrasts include electrification of most of the NIMT during the 1980s\, and\, the NIMT gaining Centralised traffic control signalling for most of its length some 42 years ahead of the Melbourne to Sydney railway. \nSome planned and possible upgrades are outlined for the NIMT. The paper concludes that in order for the Sydney Melbourne railway to win more freight and passenger traffic\, some track straightening is essential. \nSpeaker\nDr Philip Laird\nHonorary Associate Professor\, the University of Wollongong \nDr Philip Laird is a graduate of Victoria University of Wellington\, the Australian National University in Canberra and the University of Calgary in Canada. He is currently an Honorary Associate Professor at the University of Wollongong and his land transport research appears in journals and refereed conference papers. \nHis recent work includes the potential benefits of the development of Medium Speed Rail to connect for NSW regional centres to Sydney and an Inland Railway linking Melbourne and Brisbane though Parkes being constructed to modern engineering standards. \nOn Australia Day 2021 Philip was awarded an OAM “For service to the rail freight and passenger transport industry.” \nClick here register on the Engineering New Zealand website.

SUMMARY:VIC/TAS Chapter Event: Melbourne Airport Rail Project
DESCRIPTION:Join the RTSA New South Wales Chapter and the RTAA online for a presentation on the Melbourne Airport Rail project\, a transformational public transport project connecting Melbourne Airport to Victoria’s regional and metropolitan train network. This webinar will be held at 6:00-7:00pm AEDT on Thursday 25th November 2021. \nWebinar cost: \n\nRTSA Members: $0.00\nNon-members: $30.00\n\nClick here to register on the Engineers Australia website. \nEvent Overview\nIn this session\, through an analysis of the project\, its’ engineering challenges\, and socio-economic impacts\, we will explore: \n\nThe Melbourne Airport Rail project\, its’ objectives\, and its development/delivery roadmap\nThe contemporary engineering challenges and considerations bespoke to this world-class infrastructure mega project\nThe socio-economic benefits this mega-project will bring to Victoria and how stakeholder engagement has continued in the virtual realm\n\nMelbourne’s population is rapidly growing and expecting to reach 8 million people by 2051\, and passenger movement through Tullamarine Airport expected to scale from 35 million (2016-2017) to over 67 million (2038). \nMelbourne Airport Rail will run on dedicated\, new tracks from a new premium station at Melbourne Airport through to Sunshine Station\, where it will then travel through the Metro Tunnel into the heart of the CBD before continuing onto the Cranbourne and Pakenham lines. \nThe route through the Metro Tunnel will provide passengers with a 10-minute turn-up-and-go service from Melbourne Airport and an around 30-minute continuous journey into the CBD\, with trains stopping at Sunshine to connect to the key regional centres of Geelong\, Ballarat and Bendigo. Gippsland passengers need only change trains once between Pakenham and Caulfield to access airport services. \nThe project will improve the performance of critical transport links to Melbourne Airport and Melbourne’s north-west\, and increase track capacity between Sunshine and Melbourne CBD. \nThe project will also include a new airport station at Melbourne Airport and improvements at Sunshine Station to supports its development into a transport superhub. \nPlanning and development work is underway\, with construction due to start in 2022. \nSpeakers\n \nBen Ryan\nDirector – Melbourne Airport Rail\, Rail Projects Victoria \nBen Ryan is the Project Director for Melbourne Airport Rail and is overseeing planning and delivery of the long-awaited connection of Melbourne Airport to Melbourne’s metropolitan and regional rail network.\nWith nearly 20 years’ experience in project management\, Ben brings knowledge of civil engineering and rail construction management from many infrastructure projects\, where he has worked as a rail systems manager\, construction manager\, and project manager. \nPrior to joining Rail Projects Victoria\, Ben held senior leadership roles with John Holland on some of the most complex level crossing removals across Melbourne as part of the Level Crossing Removal Project\, including level crossing removals on the Belgrave\, Frankston\, Craigieburn\, Upfield and Mernda Lines. \n \nVito Trantino MIEAust\nDirector Development and Delivery. Melbourne Airport Rail \nVito Trantino is a professional civil engineer with over 25 years of experience in civil and marine infrastructure design and construction. In 2017\, Vito was recognised as one of the top-30 innovative engineers in Australia by Engineers Australia for his leadership and his contribution to the innovative use of non-metallic materials in harsh marine environments. \nAcross his career\, Vito has led the engineering on several large multi-disciplinary projects including major capital expansion works within the Port of Melbourne and the delivery of the Seaford Rail Extension which comprised the first section of electrified rail on the South Australian network and the longest incrementally launched bridge in the southern hemisphere. More recently\, Vito has held key management and executive leadership roles. \n \nMegan Cusack\nDeputy Director – Communications and Stakeholder Engagement (Rail Projects Victoria)\, Melbourne Airport Rail \nMegan Cusack is an industry leader in communications and engagement with over 20-years’ experience working on major infrastructure projects throughout Victoria\, with insights from both the client and contractor side. \nShe has managed challenging and complex stakeholder issues on transformational infrastructure projects including EastLink\, the original Regional Fast Rail project (Geelong and Ballarat)\, Regional Rail Link -Footscray to Deer Park\, M80 Upgrade between the Calder Freeway and Sydney Road\, CityLink Tullamarine widening project and Level Crossing Removal projects. \nToday\, Megan brings that experience and her interpersonal skills into her role as the Deputy Director of Communications and Stakeholder Engagement for Melbourne Airport Rail. Here\, she is overseeing communications and stakeholder engagement throughout the planning and delivery of the project. \n  \nClick here to register on the Engineers Australia website.
