Buildings & Civils - Geotechnical - Introduction to Slope Stability

Course Description

This eLearning forms part of the Geotechnics Training Programme. The aim of this module is to introduce the concept of slope stability, what influences the stability of a slope and how torecognise slope movement. It is of relevance to Network Rail staff and contracttors alike who work on site and may be the first to spot signs of slope movement.

Buildings & Civils – Geotechnical - Retaining Walls

Course Description

This eLearning forms part of the Geotechnics Training Programme focusing on Retaining Walls. This module provides an overview of different types of retaining walls and their failure modes. The content will not give detailed guidance on structural inspections but will provide basic information and signpost relevant documents and standards. It also provides an understanding of the principles of retaining wall design, but it does not on its own lead to competence in designing a retaining wall or signing off a design done by others.

Buildings & Civils - Geotechnical - Rock Slope Examinations: Geotechnical Data

Course Description

The Geotechnical Data module is the third of four pre-learning modules to the face to face Rock Slope Hazard Index course forming part of the Geotechnics Training Programme, looking at the rock slope examination process as detailed in NR/L3/CIV/065/Mod3 and NR/GN/CIV/065/Mod3. This module covers the recording of geotechnical data i.e., rock material data, rock discontinuity data, potential failure modes, frequencies, and sizes, and groundwater and surface water observations. It provides foundational knowledge upon which fieldwork will build.

Audience

Rock Slope Examiners only who are attending the Rock Slope Hazard Index training course.

Buildings & Civils - Mining - Pathways in Mining Awareness

Course Description

The Pathways in Mining Awareness module forms part of the Mining Training Programme and is the second part of two modules dedicated to the awareness of mining hazards around the railway. Within this module, you will explore the Mining Manual and how it applies to specific groups of people. The management of mining hazards can be complex, but it is introduced here to show the various roles and responsibilities undertaken by Network Rail as part of the response to mining hazards when they are noted at the trackside.

Rock Slope Hazard Index

Course Description

This is a 2-day field-based course covering data collection for rock slope examinations. The course content covers recording of geometric data (including slope heights, angles, vegetation cover and distance to rail infrastructure), geotechnical data (including rock strength, rock discontinuity geometry, potential rock slope failure types and sizes and presence of groundwater) and remedial work data (presence of, coverage of and condition/ effectiveness of pre-existing rock slope remedial measures). This is a blended course with a mandatory pre-learning requirement consisting of 4 eLearning courses followed by 2 days in the field. Evidence of completing the eLearning must be provided to the trainer when attending the face-to-face element. Completion of this course is required along with the Earthworks Management competence in order to be awarded the Rock Slope Examination competence.
