SUMMARY:Intelligent Bolts: From Theory to Track
DESCRIPTION:Steven Kendell\, Business Development Manager\, Staytite Rail\nRailEI Lunch & Learn\nApplying the same torque to two bolts does not necessarily produce the same clamp force. Why does this happen\, and what can measuring bolt load tell us?\nThis technical lunch and learn explores the relationship between torque\, bolt tension and clamp force\, including the influence of friction and the torque coefficient\, or K factor. It will introduce the principles of stress\, strain and elastic bolt extension\, before explaining how Intelligent Bolts use this behaviour to measure load and transmit readings for on-site and remote monitoring.\nDrawing on railway case studies\, the session will examine variation in achieved bolt load\, fishplate seating\, bedding-in and changes following the passage of trains. These examples will demonstrate how measured data has informed installation best practice and improved our understanding of joint behaviour.\nAttendees can expect a technical discussion of the engineering principles\, how the technology works and the practical lessons learnt during installation and use on the railway. \nMicrosoft Teams meeting \nJoin: https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/3492036187574692?p=zwyvYkDxHv26Z2XLfY \nMeeting ID: 349 203 618 757 469 2 \nPasscode: rS3bA2PG \nDial in by phone \n+44 20 3321 5213\,\,847086488# United Kingdom\, City of London \nFind a local number \nPhone conference ID: 847 086 488# \nBOOK YOUR SPACE HERE

SUMMARY:Advanced S&C Systems Engineering Mod 1 - February 2027
DESCRIPTION:RailEI Advanced Switch & Crossing Systems Engineering Course\nModule 1\nProgramme aim\nPoints\, Switches and Crossings (P&C\, S&C) are critical to railway performance\, yet maintenance of these assets often lack complete coordination between the track and signalling teams. The Advanced S&C Systems Engineering course bridges this gap. Equipping engineers with the knowledge and tools to optimise reliability\, reduce failures and improve safety and train performance. \nThe course will contain case studies of how to run effective PLANNED PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE regimes for S&C and how to identify and analyse potential failure modes for track and signalling components. The course will be 60% track theory and 40% signalling theory. \nEnhance understanding of signalling and track design and maintenance principles and interfaces. \nOne course\, two weeks. \nFor full details and to download a booking form CLICK HERE \n

SUMMARY:Major Projects and Programmes: Multidisciplinary Challenges and Engineering Judgement
DESCRIPTION:Major Projects and Programmes: Multidisciplinary Challenges and Engineering Judgement\nRailEI Technical Seminar\nMajor Projects and Programmes: Multidisciplinary Challenges and Engineering Judgement explores how large scale rail developments bring together civil\, electrical\, signalling\, operations and environmental teams under one programme. The seminar examines the competing pressures that arise when technical requirements\, budget constraints\, safety standards and stakeholder demands pull in different directions. It focuses on where engineering judgement becomes critical: making decisions with incomplete data\, balancing risk versus delivery timelines and integrating disciplines so the system works as a whole\, not just as separate parts. \nThrough case studies of complex rail upgrades and new builds\, speakers will unpack how experienced engineers navigate uncertainty\, challenging assumptions\, and choose the “least wrong” path when no perfect solution exists. \nThis Seminar will include opportunities for delegate interaction and participation\, offering facilitated discussions and Q&As. \nReady to be part of the conversation? Book now to advance your knowledge and understanding of the challenges facing track renewals. \nThis event contributes to CPD. \nRegistration with exhibitors from 08:30 for a 09:00 start. \nMembers £115   Non-members £215   Students £30 \nBOOK YOUR SPACE HERE

SUMMARY:Advanced S&C Systems Engineering Mod 2 - May 2027
DESCRIPTION:RailEI Advanced Switch & Crossing Systems Engineering Course\nModule 2\nProgramme aim\nPoints\, Switches and Crossings (P&C\, S&C) are critical to railway performance\, yet maintenance of these assets often lack complete coordination between the track and signalling teams. The Advanced S&C Systems Engineering course bridges this gap. Equipping engineers with the knowledge and tools to optimise reliability\, reduce failures and improve safety and train performance. \nThe course will contain case studies of how to run effective PLANNED PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE regimes for S&C and how to identify and analyse potential failure modes for track and signalling components. The course will be 60% track theory and 40% signalling theory. \nEnhance understanding of signalling and track design and maintenance principles and interfaces. \nOne course\, two weeks. \nFor full details and to download a booking form CLICK HERE \n

SUMMARY:Earthworks\, Drainage & Off-Track - May 2027
DESCRIPTION:RailEI Earthworks\, Drainage & Off-Track Engineering Course\nProgramme aim\nThis course provides delegates with the knowledge\, understanding\, and insights necessary to manage the risks presented by earthworks\, drainage and associated ‘Off-Track’ railway infrastructure assets. \nClimate change\, asset ageing\, and external factors such as land use\, road traffic volumes and interfaces are changing the balance of risks associated with railway infrastructure. Continued safe operation of the railway requires these changes to be fully understood and integrated into the day to day operation and management of rail infrastructure assets. \nFor full details and to download a booking form CLICK HERE \n
