SUMMARY:RTSA - Vic/Tas Chapter - Registration Deadline for the Annual RTSA Undergraduate Challenge 2019 for Vic/Tas
DESCRIPTION:Win Summer Vacation Work Opportunities\nWith large rail projects on the horizon in every major city\, demand for engineers in the railway industry has never been stronger. Rail engineering companies are actively looking now to recruit and develop young engineers to help keep Australia’s people and freight moving. \nWhat is it?\nA flagship rail engineering competition hosted by the VIC/TAS chapter of RTSA for university engineering students. Teams will be competing in a fictitious railway themed scenario by tendering for the project. \nThe competition will take the format of a mock Request for Tender. Proposal submissions will be limited to twelve pages\, and aim to demonstrate proposed methodology\, experience\, innovation and schedule. \nSee this flyer for more information: \nThe Annual RTSA Undergraduate Challenge 2019 Flyer\n  \nWho should apply?\nStudents who have not yet worked as engineers\, and are in their 3rd and 4th year of their first engineering degree in any field of engineering applicable to rail companies (from civil\, mechanical & aerospace\, electrical & computer systems departments) are eligible to compete. \nWhat is the reward?\nTwo winning teams will win an interview for a summer vacation work with one of the sponsoring rail expertise companies including consultants\, rail operators and government departments. \nInterested?\nStudents must register their teams of FOUR members by Friday 9th August 2019.  Please register by sending an email to rtsatube@gmail.com with your team name\, each member’s name and one contact email address. \nInvites to a mandatory tender briefing will be sent to each the registered teams nominated email address at which further information will be given. \nRegistration Closes 09 / 08 / 2019 – 11:59 pm\nWho are we?\nThe Railway Technical Society of Australasia (RTSA) is a joint Technical Society of Engineers Australia and Engineering New Zealand\, formed to further the interests of the rail industry at large and its individual participants through sharing of information\, technical advancement\, networking and industry promotion. \n

SUMMARY:RTSA - Qld Chapter Event - PPPs vs D&Cs - A Case Study: Inland Rail
DESCRIPTION:PPPs vs D&Cs – A Case Study: Inland Rail \nAt this panel event\, jointly hosted by RTSA\, EA’s Civil College and EA’s College of Leadership and Management \, experts will discuss the Inland Rail Project and the learnings from its delivery model using both contract delivery methods. \nThe Inland Rail project is a 1\,700km rail connection from Melbourne to Brisbane\, including brownfield and greenfield sections. It consists of thirteen different projects\, five of which are in QLD\, two of which are to be delivered using a D&C contract method and three to be delivered as a combined PPP. \nThis panel event will interview two ARTC leaders\, Rob McNamara the Project Director of the North Star to Border and Border to Gowrie Projects to be delivered as D&C’s and Simon Fraser the Gowrie to Kagaru PPP Project Transaction Manager. The panel will also include Queensland Major Contracts Association (QMCA) CEO\, Jon Davies\, to share his knowledge on why PPPs and D&Cs suit different projects and the benefits and challenges of each from the contractor point of view. \nWith significant tunnels\, flood plains\, viaducts\, earthworks and a whopping total of $9.3b federally committed to develop and build Inland Rail\, the future backbone of the national freight network\, this is an event not to be missed!

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 NSW Event - Site visit to Sydney Metro's Operations and Maintenance Facility
DESCRIPTION:Site visit to Sydney Metro’s Operations and Maintenance Facility \nSydney Metro North West opened earlier in May\, operating as the first fully automated rapid transit system in Australia. The operational context is very different to the conventional heavy rail and light rail networks in NSW.  It is very important for rail professionals to understand the differences in running a metro and heavy rail network. \nThe visit will include a tour of the Operations Control Centre (OCC) where train controllers constantly monitor the entire metro system\, controlling rolling stock\, tunnels and platforms to deliver a safe and reliable journey. The visit will also include a tour of the train stabling and maintenance facility\, which incorporates latest technology for: \n• Train washing\n• Inspection and repairs\n• Major train maintenance\n• Wheel maintenance \nAbout Metro Trains Sydney: \nMetro Trains Sydney (MTS) is the operator of the Metro North West Line\, which runs along the Sydney Metro Northwest. It is a joint venture between MTR Corporation (60%)\, John Holland (20%) and UGL Rail (20%) formed in September 2014.   It operates the network with a fleet of 22 Alstom Metropolis trains under a 15-year contract. \nRegistration Closes: Mon 19 Aug 2019 – 6:00 pm
