Institute of Rail Welding (IoRW) 15th anniversary conference held in July 2017 in York/UK


Events

The Institute of Rail Welding (IoRW) was founded 15 years ago by Railtrack – a group of companies that owned the track, signalling, tunnels, bridges, level crossings and most of the stations of the British railway system from 1994 until 2002 – as one of the more positive outcomes that followed from the shocking Hatfield train crash in the year 2000. The idea for the IoRW is attributed to Simon Hardy, then one of Railtrack’s track engineers and now working for the ORR. The Institute has been a great success, and has contributed significantly to the massive reduction in the number of weld failures and broken rails that has been achieved on the Network Rail network in the interim.
