This intensive 2-day course will provide participants with a solid grounding in the technologies, concepts, methods and hydrodynamic theories used in the planning, design and construction of harbour facilities. It will illustrate the important issues by reference to case studies and will provide participants with the methodologies needed to plan a port design program and to review those designs when presented. Participants will learn to apprec...

Key Learning Outcomes1. Gain a working knowledge of fundamentals for railway train control and signalling systems for freight, intercity passenger and urban light rail transit operations2. Learn how many of tod...

Attend this course to improve your knowledge and confidence in the technical aspects of the design, implementation, and operation of bulk material handling equipment and system installations - to make better decisions about equipment selection. Key Learning Outcomes: Review case studies for systems handling iron ore, coal, and other mining materials. Understand bulk material flow properties and their use in design and troubleshooting. Examine...

This course will provide a useful insight into the establishment and operation of a VTS system. It will also seek to highlight key issues associated with the authorisation of a VTS and the appropriate delegation of this authority to VTS personnel. Through a review of case studies it will also highlight some of the emerging legal implications of both implementing and not implementing a VTS in Australia. With VTS becoming more and more establish...

The annual Iron Ore Project Development and Logistics Conference is an expert led, technical and project focused conference will feature presentations on current projects, expansions, and challenges facing the iron ore industry to maximise logistics, productivity, and project delivery. The conference will also highlight latest innovations and projects implemented in the industry, as well as major rail and port upgrades planned to facilitate pr...

LNG is simply natural gas which has been liquefied for storage and transportation. In LNG form, natural gas is condensed into one 600th of its volume, allowing it to be stored and transported more easily. Liquefaction (by cooling to minus 162 degrees C) occurs in large land based plants and is transported to receiving terminals in LNG carrier vessels. The need for LNG arises due to the uneven distribution of gas resources and gas markets and t...

The Annual Bulk Materials Handling Conference is an expert led forum focusing on the engineering behind the latest expansions and upgrades of bulk materials facilities. This conference will evaluate the latest engineering feats that are creating record levels of throughput whilst minimising downtime.

An intermediate course covering Australian design, principles and practices for rail signalling and control systems, illustrating the key principles and thinking behind the design of signalling and control systems in a multi-discipline (integrated) project context. Key Learning Outcomes: Understand the purpose of a signalling plan and the relationships between principles and signal positioning on a signalling plan. Describe the purpose of a Si...

This introductory course in design fundamentals will guide you through a step-by-step study of the substation design and construction process. The course has been written from the perspective of a (Design and Commissioning) D&C contractor and will discuss various delivery models and the associated challenges. Transmission, sub transmission, distribution as well as private substations will be covered. You will consider all phases, from init...

In large gas fields located remote from markets (sometimes referred to as stranded gas) or in smaller gas fields (including gas associated with oil), the logistics or economics of pipelining the gas to market may not be feasible. Gas is shipped to distant markets as a liquefied product (LNG) and the technology of LNG is well established. Liquefaction (by cooling to minus 162 degrees C) occurs in large land based plants and is transported to re...
