SUMMARY:Hope Island Station - Delivering an Infill Station on a Bridge in a Floodplain with Zero Weekday Possessions
DESCRIPTION:Join the RTSA for a technical presentation on Hope Island Station\n \nHope Island Station is a new “station in the sky” on the Gold Coast line\, built on a viaduct across a floodplain with zero weekday possessions. The project demonstrates how outstanding design delivers exceptional construction\, interface\, and quality outcomes. The team overcame challenges rarely encountered in rail\, including constructing motorway bridges within millimetres of new structures\, pioneering OHLE designs to minimise isolations\, managing earthworks affecting bridges on soft soils\, and designing elevated platforms for wind-induced step gaps. Through collaborative delivery\, Queensland Rail\, CRRDA and AGJV transformed complex constraints into lasting benefits for passengers and the community. \nPresented by: \n \nJordan Bloxham\, Delivery Manager\, CRRDA \n  \n  \n  \n \nChris Boyte\, Construction Manager\, AGJV \n  \n  \n  \n  \n \nDaniel Buntine\, Project Delivery Manager\, QR \n\n\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \nFor Catering purposes:\nIf you plan on attending in person\, Please utilise the ticket option \nIf you plan on attending virtually\, Please utilise the RSVP option

SUMMARY:Digital Twins in Motion: Powering KiwiRail’s New Track Evaluation Car
DESCRIPTION:KiwiRail is harnessing the power of Digital Twin technology to revolutionise track monitoring\, join the RTSA New Zealand chapter online for a webinar on Digital Twins in Motion: Powering KiwiRail’s New Track Evaluation Car. \n📅  12:00-1:00pm NZST Monday 27th July \n🌏  Online \n🎟️  Register on the Engineering New Zealand website: Digital Twins in Motion: Powering KiwiRail’s New Track Evaluation Car \nJoin Chris Whyte (TEC Delivery Manager) and Aydin Partridge-Long (Product Owner – Digital Engineering) as they unveil how this cutting-edge model supports the new Track Evaluation Car\, and extends far beyond it. \nThis session will cover the technical delivery of the digital twin survey\, its integration with the TEC\, and the strategic roadmap for rolling out this capability across the wider business to unlock new operational use cases. \nPresenters\nChristopher Whyte is the KiwiRail Delivery Manager for the Track Evaluation Car Project within the Rolling Stock Contracts – Rolling Stock Asset Integrity Team. Since contract award\, he has led the delivery of the project\, bringing over 19 years of railway experience gained across the United Kingdom\, Southeast Asia\, and New Zealand. \nStarting his career as a Signalling Technician\, Christopher has built extensive experience in the delivery of complex railway projects and the application of systems engineering principles\, including requirements management\, system integration\, operational readiness\, and assurance. His combination of technical\, operational\, and project leadership expertise supports the successful delivery of critical rail asset programmes. \n  \nAydin Partridge-Long is a Product Owner at KiwiRail\, where he leads digital product initiatives that improve asset management\, safety\, and operational performance across the infrastructure business. With a background in product management\, digital transformation\, and organisational change\, Aydin has successfully delivered large-scale technology implementations and driven adoption of new ways of working across organisations. \nAt KiwiRail\, Aydin led the implementation and adoption of the XERRA\, a network visualisation platform\, achieving more than regular active daily users and establishing it as a valuable tool for understanding asset relationships and supporting better decision-making across the rail network.
