Chief Track Expert- BID Position

Description

• Integration of Special Trackwork: Direct the design and installation of special trackwork, such as switches, crossings (turnouts), and expansion joints, paying particular attention to their geometry and material specifications to ensure smooth and safe train movements at high speeds.
• Coordination and Technical Compliance: Coordinate with other disciplines (Civil, Bridge, Signaling, OHE) to ensure seamless interface design. Ensure all track designs and construction practices strictly comply with the relevant Railway Permanent Way Manuals and safety regulations.
• Geometric Alignment and Survey Control: Finalize the horizontal and vertical track alignment (geometric design) based on approved feasibility studies. Establish and maintain the high-precision survey control network to ensure the construction tolerances for high-speed operation are strictly achieved.
• Track Maintenance Strategy (LCC): Develop the long-term track maintenance and renewal strategy (Life-Cycle Cost or LCC) and specify the mechanized maintenance equipment needed. Establish the track monitoring and inspection protocols to ensure long-term track safety and geometry standards.
• Permanent Way Design and Specification: Lead the detailed design and engineering of the permanent way (track structure), including the selection of components like rails, sleepers, fastenings, and ballast/slab track systems, ensuring they meet the technical requirements for semi-high speeds and high axle loads.
• Track Construction and Quality Assurance (QA/QC): Oversee all phases of track construction, including formation, track laying, welding, and stressing. Implement and manage a rigorous Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) program to verify that all materials and construction methods comply with national and international railway codes.
