Darlinghurst - Sydney
Introduction
There is a great deal of infrastructure in the rail corridor which is not part of the track itself but are essential parts of the railway system. That infrastructure includes bridges, buildings, platforms, substations, drainage systems, etc. The broader purpose of track engineering includes the maintenance of such items of infrastructure, so it is important to be able to identify and classify defects which can occur in them.

Note
Please check that your computer meets the minimum System Requirements if you are attending via Distance/Off-Campus.
Units are offered in attending mode unless otherwise indicated (that is attendance is required at the campus identified). A unit identified as offered by distance, that is there is no requirement for attendance, is identified with a nominal enrolment campus. A unit offered to both attending students and by distance from the same campus is identified as having both modes of study.
Special approval is required for enrolment into TNE Program units.
TNE Program units special approval requirements.
* The Final WW Date is the final date from which you can withdraw from the unit without academic penalty, however you will still incur a financial liability (see withdrawal dates explained for more information).
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this unit, you will be able to:
1. List and describe the range of non-track infrastructure in a typical railway;
2. Explain the sources of loads to which non-track infrastructure may be subjected;
3. Describe, categorise and evaluate defects in non-track infrastructure;
4. Deduce appropriate responses to defects and determine repair methods;
5. Discuss the process to investigate a structure incident and determine a response.
