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.

SUMMARY:Rail Systems and Safety Assurance
DESCRIPTION:Gary Bundell will be presenting on Rail Systems and Safety Assurance as Principal Rail Systems & Safety Assurance Engineer at AECOM Australia. \nAbout the speaker: \nGary is a Chartered Professional Engineer with 17 years of engineering practice experience most recently in a system and safety assurance role for the rapid transit rail transportation sector but before that in the heavy-haul rail automation sector (with system assurance roles and before that in engineering/technology development roles). He also has 18 years of academic experience in engineering education and leadership. His early engineering experience has included software development for embedded computer systems\, specification of novel control and signal processing algorithms\, and managing/mentoring other engineers engaged in these activities. \nHe has had various roles from R&D manager\, through to consulting engineer and recently in lead roles in system\, safety assurance and project review roles. He has a demonstrated capacity to work across a wide range of advanced technology projects\, and his main technical interest is in rail technology systems from a safety\, reliability\, availability\, and performance perspective. \nHe is currently on secondment to the Perth METRONET project as an engineering assurance manager\, but most recently he has worked for AECOM on various phases of the Sydney Metro project\, from technical advisor safety assurance lead on Sydney Metro West Scoping/Definition Design to technical advisor safety assurance on the Sydney Metro City & South West Reference Design and also on portions of the Sydney Metro Northern Corridor Works detailed design and construction phase as a safety assurance manager. \n  \nTo register for this event\, please use the website link below. \n  \n
