Content
Railway infrastructure plays a key role in modern civilisation by moving people and goods within and between cities. Railway infrastructure is even more important for the Australian economy as the mining industry heavily relies on efficient transportation of raw materials over vast distances and from remote areas.
This unit provides specific knowledge for designing and maintaining railway infrastructure systems through real-world case studies. Using Australian railway industry standards and guidelines, students will learn about design and maintenance procedures for both light and heavy railway systems. In addition to the engineering design of railway infrastructure systems, technological solutions for their efficient and safe operation will also be addressed.
