Railway Engineering Track Design, Construction and Maintenance|Online

Overview

Why Attend

Reliable Railway Engineering underpins the safety and efficiency of every train movement, requiring precise design, disciplined construction, and consistent maintenance to keep track performing as intended over decades of service. This training course gives participants a complete, practical grounding in railway engineering, covering the full journey from track design through construction and into long-term maintenance.

Participants will strengthen their understanding of how rail infrastructure is planned and delivered, and build technical competency in track alignment, one of the most critical factors determining ride quality and long-term track performance. The course also covers the role and behavior of ballast as a core structural component of the track system, alongside practical railway maintenance strategies that protect safety and extend asset life.

Course Objectives

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
