Senior Digital Engineer
East West Rail - Milton Keynes
Employment type: Fixed Term Contract OR Permanent
The East West Rail scheme will re-establish a rail link between Cambridge and Oxford to improve connections between East Anglia and central, southern and western England. Our Digital Engineering team used model authoring software to project 2D utilities information, which helped us plan diversion works across the 30km scheme. This also reduced risk, created a long-term, maintainable solution for the service providers and Network Rail. Planning the 2D utilities was a significant benefit considering the rural location of the programme, along with the limited vehicle access and areas of ecological and environmental importance.
In addition, they also developed a digital tool that feeds data sets from the design team's schedules to accurately map trackside drainage and culverts which helped the project team to save time, increase accuracy and provide automatic validation.
