Delivering efficient transport solutions is complex, relying on many interdependent components to work together harmoniously. Often there is more than one way to examine and solve multiple, correlated problems. Simulation offers limitless opportunities for you to explore and investigate each solution holistically so you can confidently make the right decision.1024 design provides expertise and experience in simulation analysis. We use computer modelling to visualise existing and possible operations. We analyse data from various scenarios to find the best outcomes. We provide training for your team to execute and monitor the implementation internally.Our difference is the integrated and multi-faceted approach. 1024 design has strong partnerships with software developers and consultancy service providers worldwide. We bring together the best in the industry to help you find the best possible solution that increases operation efficiency and safety; reduces cost; improves customer satisfaction; and ultimately your bottom line.

ProjectFEL 2 Study on the Technical and Operational Requirements for project Shongololo for Transnet Freight Rail, South AfricaI was the lead engineer of the feasibility study for the new 200-wagon distributed power operation of the export coal trains for Transnet Freight Rail in South Africa. This included simulation of the proposed operations and analysis of the infrastructure, operations, crew and rolling stock requirements. The study also made recommendations regarding alterations needed to implement the operations including infrastructure improvement and improved asset utilisation to take advantage of the newly delivered dual-voltage locomotives.
