What does it take to derail a train?  The answer may surprise you

The presentation will provide some examples which may challenge existing preconceptions on  what it takes to derail a train, examples where relying on existing standards or operating practices may provide a false sense of compliance and examples of the types of track defects that can cause a derailment

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.
