Sydney Metro, together with our tunnelling Contractor, will provide more information and details on Australia’s biggest public transport project and the largest urban rail infrastructure investment in the nation’s history. Services started on the North West Metro in May 2019, with 13 metro stations and 4,000 new commuter car parking spaces. From Sydney’s north west, […]
Normanton to Croydon Railway - The Track Ceremony The railway line Normanton to Croydon in North Queensland built in 1891 utilised a radical departure from established practice in the building of pioneer railways. It was recently recognised under Engineers Australia's Heritage Recognition Program. The event will recognize the innovative work of George Phillips in the […]
The ARA and RTSA are providing a one day course - Insight into Rollingstock Engineering - in Sydney on October 15 Description This one-day introductory course will provide an insight into the principles used in the design, manufacture and maintenance of railway rollingstock including locomotives, passenger cars, multiple unit trains and freight wagons. The course […]
Overview Rail Projects Victoria (RPV) is responsible for delivering major rail projects in Victoria. Originally formed in 2015 as the Melbourne Metro Rail Authority responsible for delivering the Metro Tunnel Project, MMRA morphed into Rail Projects Victoria to better reflect a growing stable of rail projects being delivered by the team across the state. RPV […]
Most train control systems require a human driver to interpret real time information and respond to this information. The human driver controls the vehicle following the defined rules. Adherence to the rules is often supervised with automated interventions to mitigate the risk of human error, for example, if the driver exceeds their authority (distance/speed). The […]
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. […]

Digital Systems, the next phase of the Transport for NSW More Trains, More Services program, will transform Sydney’s rail network, using world class technology to create high capacity turn up and go services to meet growing demand. 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 […]
