Analysing newly designed assets’ e.g. viaducts, embankments, cuttings, bridges, S&C characteristics to ensure safe HS2 operations

London, England, United Kingdom

Working on benchmarking, comparing the performances of different rail systems around the world. This includes the analysis of key performance indicators (KPIs) and examining the operating and maintenance practices and costs with in-depth focus on asset and data management. Conducting projects relating to data governance and management, exploring the.

London, United Kingdom

• Worked on several projects to understand issues and problems generated during rail operations and maintenance. Some of these projects include:
• Guidance for Introducing Selective Door Operations Project – prepared for Rail Safety Standards Board (UK)
• Review of Increased Rail and Wheel Wear – prepared for Irish Rail (worked as an (individual) Railway Specialist
• Asset Analysis, Risk and Safety Assessments for New Class 80x Train Introductions
• Lead Evidence Engineer - Structure Gauge Assessment in Hybridflex Trains Also worked as an Assessor in Safety Certification Projects for new infrastructure and rolling stock. Design and construction (as-built) projects.

Huddersfield, United Kingdom

• Working in several projects for railway industry which mainly investigates the causes, prediction and mitigation of wear and rolling contact fatigue on both rails and wheels. Some of these projects includes:
• Evaluation of new Switch Rail Design for Docklands Light Railway Line, analysis of contact conditions against frontal and side attack as per UIC716
• Investigation of Rail Wear Rates on Nottingham Express Transit, understanding the causes of high rail wear in critical sites and suggesting potential mitigation measures
• Testing of Remanufactured Wheelset, assessment the performance of the remanufactured wheel (restored the damage and worn area by welding) using the IRR’s full scale wheel-rail contact rig and compare with the existing.
• Melbourne Metro Tunnel Wheel-Rail Interface Study & Rail Friction Management Strategy(Cross Yarra Project-Melbourne/Australia), predicting the wheel-rail contact conditions during the design of rail infrastructure.
• New Wheel Profile Design and Wheel-Rail Interface Improvement in Croydon Tramlink, analysing the high wear generated in both rails and wheels and designining a new suitable wheel profile to increase wheel asset life

• Marmaray Tube Crossing Project: 80 km-long railway project which combined the European and Asian Part of Istanbul by immersed tube tunnels under Istanbul Strait and upgrading the existing railway system from Gebze to.
• Design and construction of railway alignment:mainlines, depots and stabling yards
• Quality management of all trackwork components' procurement and acceptance such as rails, S&Cs, welding and etc. (reviewing their compliance with EU and UIC standards.
• Taking part in geotechnical works (ballast and subgrade), drainage, utility relocations and interface with structures: stations, bridges, culverts and etc.
• Supporting Safety Case Evaluation of all civil and trackwork construction with TUV-SUD.
• Experience in railway project bidding and evaluation
