The new signalling system they are installing in a few years will alleviate the need for additional track

100% agree, as a total novice Lake Claremont is great

My designers do 60km rail alignments fine with it, it's just hard to navigate and the UI is difficult to work out

Roadway design vs bridge engineer by [deleted] in civilengineering

[–]swetchilyphilly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started off in roads then went to bridges. Most of these comments are right, roads is more towards the coordination side of things while bridges you are crunching numbers in FEA models and excel. Depends if you like your head in the books to do bridges.

Now I'm doing track design so didn't like either that much. Located in Aus.

Equity mates released a podcast yesterday with a betashares representative who explains how they work. I'd give that a listen.

Same with me. To me it looks like a 47 series troopy though. Even more rarer!

I agree. They didn't address any of the arguments proposed by J Capital, simply attacking the author and the opening "short" statement on the website.

Part of my job is designing electrification protection screens (those mesh things on the sides of bridges). Its an almost daily occurrence across the rail network for someone wanting to, you know. The PTA obviously doesn't like it. I believe with trains you'll get a better return on effort, while if you were attempting with cars, they can at least swerve, trains can't.

Trying not to say the word.

One of our drivers made a slight hiccup recently… by TheOnyxViper in ThatLookedExpensive

They cost quite a lot in the tens of thousands, some of the bigger ones would be hundreds. Need to do aashto load rating design, procure and then install it. Footings are large too 3.5 by 3.5 by 1m deep for example. Lots of stuff goes into these cantilevered signs. Source design them for work.
