PWI-VIC Technical Networking Event

Tuesday August 5, 2025

Recently John Scaife delivered a presentation on Safety Fundamentals of Turnouts at a Permanent Way Institution – Victoria (PWI-VIC) event.

Turnouts are essential to the safe and efficient operation of rail networks. In his presentation, John explored the key safety principles that underpin their design, inspection, and maintenance, highlighting practical considerations and common risks.

The event brought together professionals from across the rail sector and sparked meaningful conversation on real-world challenges, reinforcing the value of knowledge sharing to support safe and sustainable track infrastructure.

We’re always proud to contribute to the exchange of technical knowledge and industry best practice through forums like PWI.
A big thank you to the organisers and attendees for creating a collaborative environment focused on improving outcomes for our rail networks.
