Happy Birthday #IRT! 20 yrs ago today the Monash IRT was established when a small team moved from BHP’s MRL to Monash Engineering Monash University. Since then the #railway team has grown in numbers, stature and scope to become the premier track & vehicle #research centre in Australia.

This is a great news and a good opportunity to build on the excellent network created by Monash Indonesia Representative Office. Monash IRT keen to support this initiative with ever growing railway interests in Indonesia.

Monash IRT have developed Instrumented Revenue Vehicle (IRV) Technology that's already helping local and global railway industries ensure safer operations, reduce maintenance costs and extend asset life. Read more in #MonashLens #Wallan ow.ly/r7AN50ys98W

This is an important project for Victoria. We are delighted the responsibility is given to Minister Jacinta Allan. Some of the technological advancements should be implemented in this project to improve operational efficiency.

Commonwealth Assistant Minister for Waste Reduction& Environmental Management Trevor Evans MP, visited Monash University Monash Engineering Monash IRT recently to learn more about developments in #recycled #composite #railway sleepers that will deliver huge benefits to #circulareconomy.

Congrats to Monash IRT on their award of $300K to develop modular parts for tram stop platforms made of reinforced #recycledplastic, in partnership with Yarra Trams, Integrated Recycling and Advanced Circular Polymer. #recycling
