Take part in expert training in Railway Earthing and Bonding. This technical seminar is based on the IET guidance in Railway Earthing and Bonding for AC Electrified Railways.

Railway systems interface directly with people, so making sure that an electrified site is properly Earthed and Bonded is critical to eliminating any potential safety issues, protecting equipment and reducing expensive downtime.

Railway Earthing and Bonding will provide insights into the fundamental requirements and design principles of AC electrified railways across core railway engineering disciplines, helping you to broaden your knowledge and experience within this complex area of engineering.

If you’re interested in attending a future Earthing and Bonding technical course, please register your interest to be kept up to date with future dates.
