The Bridge over the Clarence River Project in Grafton, NSW is nearing completion. The project comprises two complex bridge structures, namely: New Bridge over the Clarence River - a new 525 m long precast match cast segmental balanced cantilever bridge with 74 m spans A new rail bridge comprising a steel truss on a 47-degree […]
Queensland Rail aims to be Australia’s best performing railway, delivering safe, on time, customer-focused and efficient rail services. To achieve this, traction motor bearing failure is being investigated to determine how and when rolling element bearings are likely to fail. Traction motor bearing failure has previously been unpredictable on Queensland Rail rolling stock and can […]
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. […]

The Digital Systems program will replace legacy signalling and train controls with modern, internationally proven, intelligent systems based […]
Often, multi-body dynamic simulation (MBDS) is used as a tool to examine the potential causes or likelihood of a derailment under known or expected operating conditions. From these investigations the risk of derailment (or safety factor) associated with the simulated conditions can be estimated. However, most MBDS studies focus only on the occurrence of a […]

In the recent years, increase in the axle load is one of the key contributors in the freight rail transport throughput. However, accelerated deterioration in the track geometry parameters is inevitable as a result. Rail alignment on heavy haul railways has undergone long term unintended changes due to increase in axle load and throughput such […]

NOTE: Rescheduled to Nov. 29. Light rail projects are typically blends of rail, highway, civil engineering and urban regeneration work, conducted in a complex urban environment with multiple stakeholders. Although usually very successful once in operation, light rail projects have gained a reputation for cost and programme overruns as well as intense media scrutiny. Speaker: […]
China has embarked on an impressive programme of railway development in recent decades, including building 25000 km of high speed rail lines in the past 10 years to create the world’s largest high speed network. While early Chinese high speed lines utilised technology transfer programmes with overseas suppliers, increasingly Chinese designed systems and equipment are […]
