Introduction to Overhead wiring

The Overhead Wiring (OHW) is known by many names such Overhead Catenary System (OCS), Overhead Line Equipment (OLE and OHLE), but regardless the name, the OHW is aerial conductor wires installed over the track to power electric trains via the pantograph.

Lious Petroulias will give an overview of the many variables and constraints, as well as other discipline interfaces that will drive the OHW design as it develops and interfaces with other rail systems

Lunch & Learn

The PWI Lunch and Learn sessions were launched in 2024, building a community for industry experts to share their knowledge on Rail Infrastructure Engineering and a great Continuous Professional Development(CPD) opportunity for all!

The topics can cover technical research, project delivery or novel technology; the first ever event covered the delivery of a major rail infrastructure project with the subsequent session on the technical intricacies of turnouts.

The key difference to other PWI chapter events is this event spans all states and wider, looking to connect like-minded professionals from different rail infrastructure managers for the benefit of the rail industry as a whole; with internationally delivered presentations also planned.

This is achieved by holding the events on line via Microsoft Teams, typically every 8 weeks.
