Previous Quarterly Meetings (Wrap)
2nd Quarterly Meeting
The Second Quarterly Meeting held on Thursday 27 May 2010, featured a presentation from Kevin Karaloff of Interfleet Technology on the much debated topic of PPP's and Alliancing. The presentation was delivered from an Engineers Perspective and highlighted how these modern contracting arrangements do not reduce the need for engineering, they in fact increase it. The PWI would like to thank Interfleet Technology for sponsoring this meeting.
This Quarterly meeting was a joint PWI meeting with our colleagues from the IRSE and RTSA. Larry Matters (an RTSA member and Senior Transport Safety Investigator with the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB)) provided an informative presentation on "Consequences of Distraction in the Rail Environment".
