Overview
This session will address the challenges of estimating, designing, and constructing a complex fire life safety upgrade project in the Melbourne Underground Rail Loop's brownfield urban rail network environment.
We will discuss the knowns and unknowns in the fire engineering design phase, the access-constrained construction phase, and the unpredictable testing and commissioning phase.
Key competencies from the Construction Engineering Learning and Development guide to be discussed include developing project methods, controlling project quality, ensuring a safe working environment, and managing contract obligations.
This webinar forms part of the Construction series of CPD.
Who should attend?
This session is relevant to construction engineers, from site engineers to project managers, especially those working in brownfield environments or managing complex railway projects.
Learning outcomes
- Key fire engineering and design principles for upgrading existing train stations
- Appropriate risk management in a brownfield environment
- Importance of planning and scope - access to live railways
- Lessons learned from Testing and Commissioning - how to predict the unpredictable
