SUMMARY:Boots off Ballast: Transforming How We Inspect\, Maintain\, and Operate the Railway
DESCRIPTION:Dr Sin Sin Hsu\, Regional Engineer [Track\, Drainage and Off Track]\, Eastern\, Network Rail\nRailEI Lunch & Learn\nThis presentation outlines Network Rail’s “Boots Off Ballast” transformation programme\, reducing trackside working by adopting technologies such as AI‑enabled video inspection\, downward‑ and forward‑facing cameras\, remote condition monitoring\, and Unattended Geometry Measurement Systems.   With a vast and dispersed rail asset base\, rising safety risks\, and increasing performance demands\, digital tools now enable earlier defect detection\, improved hot‑weather resilience\, and significant time savings. Case studies show proactive identification of broken rails\, poor track geometry\, and other failures\, preventing delays and enhancing reliability. Ongoing innovation\, partnerships\, and data‑driven maintenance are central to achieving safer\, smarter\, and more efficient railway operations. \nMicrosoft Teams meeting \nJoin: https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/395902263031430?p=GLRYDVFAoziHDxmIbI \nMeeting ID: 395 902 263 031 430 \nPasscode: yT2q9Yi7 \nDial in by phone \n+44 20 3321 5213\,\,556261028# United Kingdom\, City of London \nFind a local number \nPhone conference ID: 556 261 028# \nIf you are a RailEI member\, please book your space if would like this event to be automatically recorded in your CPD portfolio. \nBOOK YOUR SPACE HERE

SUMMARY:Geopolymer Injection as a Non-Disruptive Solution for Track Transition Stabilisation
DESCRIPTION:Andy Lee\, VP Engineering\, Geobear\nRailEI Lunch & Learn\nThis session explores the use of geopolymer injection as a non-disruptive ground improvement technique to address track geometry defects at transition zones. Using a detailed case study from UBC4 Sarsfield Road\, Dublin\, the presentation demonstrates how differential settlement at bridge approaches can be mitigated through targeted stiffness enhancement of the trackbed. \nThe session will cover the underlying engineering principles of geopolymer behaviour\, including expansion mechanisms\, interaction with cohesive and granular soils\, and design methodologies based on ground modelling and PLAXIS analysis. It will also outline the practical implementation of the solution under live railway constraints\, delivered within short nighttime possessions. \nAttendees will gain insight into performance outcomes\, including verified increases in soil stiffness and significant reductions in track twist and deflection\, alongside the operational and safety benefits of avoiding traditional excavation and reconstruction methods. \nMicrosoft Teams meeting \nJoin: https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/32892343577775?p=mm7NLCgrgReuGysAvH \nMeeting ID: 328 923 435 777 75 \nPasscode: xn6H6XH7 \nDial in by phone \n+44 20 3321 5213\,\,988243791# United Kingdom\, City of London \nFind a local number \nPhone conference ID: 988 243 791# \nIf you are a RailEI member\, please book your space if would like this event to be automatically recorded in your CPD portfolio. \nBOOK YOUR SPACE HERE
