Overview

Engineering critical risks, project planning and methodology for the Glen Iris to Cockburn Rail Blockade. 

For 20 days between 26 December 2021 and 14 January 2022 the Mandurah rail line was blockaded (closed) between Glen Iris and Cockburn to reconstruct the Mandurah line tracks on a new alignment to make space for the future construction of the new Thornlie-Cockburn Link. This was the longest ever blockade of a PTA line and affected the busiest section of the network.

The works were successfully completed and the line was handed back to passenger service on schedule at full line speed (130 km/h) and without operational restriction, the first time this has happened after a major blockade on the PTA network.

This presentation will be given by Graham Holden, engineering manager for NEWest Alliance who will be looking at the engineering critical risks, project planning and methodology for the Glen Iris to Cockburn Rail Blockade.
