RISSB Wheel Rail Interface Forum 2013
The wheel/rail interface is a complex system – one that benefits greatly from careful pre-engineering. There are significant benefits from properly addressing the wheel/rail interface, and serious consequences from allowing the interface to govern itself. Pre-engineering means making informed decisions based on engineering analysis during the design phase, when changes can be made economically. Solid engineering and planning during the design phase is far more cost effective than reactive maintenance and problem solving after the system is up and running
This one day forum will review the fundamentals of what happens between wheel and rail before focusing on the practicalities of monitoring, interventions, maintenance, management and the critical importance of the interdisciplinary ...
RISSB National Rail Turnouts Workshop
The workshop has been designed to build on the industry’s knowledge base in order to best facilitate knowledge exchange. It will draw on the expertise within the industry to explain this specialised and at times, complex knowledge and feature interactive sessions to debate innovative solutions to the real challenges faced.
Key topics include:
• Introduction and history of the turnouts function
• Understanding why – looking at what physically happens at the turnout
• Design fundamentals and concepts
• Turnout location, catchpoints and junctions
• Turnout manufacturing
• Dual gauge turnouts
• Configurations and applications
• And many more…

Safety in Action 2013: Brisbane Safety Conference
The Brisbane Safety Conference, part of the Safety in Action 2013 portfolio, is a must attend for those looking for a regional, industry based event, focusing on safety issues and challenges specifically in Queensland and the northern communities. This biennial event, run in conjunction with the Safety Institute of Australia, seeks to address the new and recurring health and safety issues facing safety leaders and practitioners to assist further health, safety and wellness development within Northern Australia.
Dam Design and Construction Summit
From 8:30 am to 4:50 pm
Summary
The Dam Design and Construction Summit at the Royal on the Park, Brisbane, is dedicated to maintaining the state of practise in the analysis and design of dams and water resource projects.
Description
The Dam Design and Construction Summit draws on the knowledge and experience of dam building stakeholders, dedicated to maintaining the “state of practice” in the analysis and design of dams and water resource projects, from each perspective. In light of the Coalition’s new dam policy, which highlights up to 200 potential sites for dams in Australia, the emphasis on dams and dam building will now be scrutinized. This Summit provides a forum for federal government, state government, dam engineers, owners, operators, environmental managers, and ...
