SUMMARY:RTSA - Qld Chapter Event - In-Cab Signalling Knowledge Share
DESCRIPTION:The signalling system on the railway is often the restrictive factor in determining the frequency of trains that can safely run on the rail network. Recent advances in technology have allowed for the implementation of traditional rail signalling principles in a smarter way\, allowing for signals themselves to be removed and the equivalent information instead being presented to the driver ‘in-cab’. \nIn-cab signalling technology is being deployed worldwide\, with Australia having committed to its implementation in multiple states. Whilst this technology predominantly focuses on the signalling discipline\, projects that use it must consider the entire rail system\, and therefore have a multi-disciplinary approach. \nThis presentation will explore the reasons for which an in-cab signalling technology may be chosen and the benefits of its implementation. It will discuss the safety improvements that can be realised and the capacity increases that it may bring\, before moving on to give a technical overview of how such in-cab signalling systems are designed\, including the considerations that should be taken by other disciplines. Lastly\, the presentation will give lessons learned from existing project implementations in both the UK and Australia. \nMeet Our Speaker: Georgina Hartwell – Associate Rail Systems Engineer \nIn this session\, Georgina will share her experiences in implementing in-cab signalling on the Thameslink Project in London and in working on similar such projects across Australia. She will give an overview of in-cab technologies such as ETCS and CBTC\, and discuss some lessons learned that should be considered for future projects. \nClick on the link below to register –

SUMMARY:RTSA SA Chapter Event - Meyer Road Bridge Replacement
DESCRIPTION:As part of Round three of the Bridges Renewal Program\, the Meyer Road bridge located in Lonsdale in South Australia has been selected for replacement and is set to be demolished and replaced with a new bridge.  This bridge is over a live\, electrified and operational railway\, this particular project has unique challenges which must be overcome to deliver the project safely and on time. \nThe RTSA and PWI welcomes all RTSA members to Fedoras Hilton Hotel to enjoy a talk delivered by Darren Crowther\, PTPA Delivery Manager on the topic of the Meyer Road Bridge replacement which is situated over the electrified AMPRN Seaford line. \nFollowing the presentation\, a networking session will be held to get to know your colleagues. \nParking is available on site\, and numbers will be strictly limited so register early!

SUMMARY:NSW Event - High-speed Railway Geotechnical Problems
DESCRIPTION:The current NSW state government is committed to the delivery of fast and high-speed railways in the state\, with the short to medium-term focus on upgrading and optimising existing routes with target train speed of 200 km/hour\, and the medium to long-term focus on building new routes with train speed over 250 km/hour. While it might be cost-effective and viable for Australia to import all transport components such as vehicles and control systems\, we have to accommodate our ground conditions on which the high-speed railways are built. In this regards\, geotechnical issues represent the key technical challenges for building high-speed railways in Australia. This talk presents some overseas perspectives of high-speed railway geotechnics\, including some unique geotechnical problems like ground vibration and critical train speed\, mud pumping and embankment degradation and cold region geotechnics \nAbout the Speaker: Distinguished Professor Daichao Sheng \nDaichao Sheng is a Distinguished Professor of Civil Engineering and the Head of School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at University of Technology Sydney (UTS) since 2019. Before his current role\, he was a Professor of Geomechanics at the University of Newcastle during 1997-2019. His research interest spans computational geomechanics\, unsaturated soils\, transport geotechnics and environmental geotechnics. His involvement with high-speed railway stems from his conjoint position at the National Engineering Laboratory for High-Speed Railway Construction in China. \nFurther information contact: Hadi.Khabbaz@uts.edu.au \n(This is an EA event hosted by the Australian Geomechanical Society and co-hosted by RTSA) \nClick on the link below to register

SUMMARY:Vic Event - "Melbourne's Metro Tunnel: It begins to take shape"
DESCRIPTION:The Metro Tunnel Project is a major Enhancement to Melbourne’s Rail Network\, it is being procured through a number of separate procurement packages the largest of which is the Tunnels and Stations Works Package.  The Tunnels and Stations Works Package includes 9km of new rail tunnels\, five underground stations\, station fit-out\, mechanical and electrical systems and specific maintenance services for the infrastructure delivered by the package and commercial opportunities at the new stations. Rail Projects Victoria (RPV) awarded this package to Cross Yarra Partnership (CYP) consortium comprising Lendlease Engineering\, John Holland\, Bouygues Construction and Capella Capital in December 2017. \nNow two years after contract award the team has made significant advances into constructing this city shaping project. Paul Thomas will provide an update on the progress of the works and the vast underground spaces already created under our bustling city. \nSpeaker:\nPaul Thomas is the Deputy Director for Rail Project Victoria’s Tunnels and Station Works Package. Paul is a Chartered Engineer and Chartered Professional Manager with 30yrs experience in the Civil Engineering industry. 25yrs spent in the tunnelling and underground construction discipline\, primarily in the design and construction of mass transit\, hydro-power and deep sewer projects\, in Hong Kong\, Singapore\, India and Australia.  Paul has extensive experience in TBM tunnels\, drill and blast tunnels\, diaphragm walls\, deep piling and design/construction of major underground structures and design development/planning and delivery of major underground infrastructure  Paul is RPV’s lead in the Engineering and Construction Delivery aspects of the project working closely with CYP. \n(This is an EA event hosted by the Australian Tunneling Society) \nClick on the link below to register
