✏️ Overview

How are you currently managing your Network Rail Assessment projects

 

Are you struggling with repetitive data entry and the constant demand to stay aligned with the latest standards? 

At the MIDAS Seminar <The New Horizon of Network Rail Bridge Assessment>, we will showcase how the latest CIVIL NX  enhancements streamline assessments, ensure compliance, and add real project value. 

 

With the newly integrated NR standards, CIVIL NX empowers engineers to: 

✅ Model more realistically with Riveted angle and bearing stiffener considerations 
✅ Automatically or manually calculate Dynamic factors with ease 
✅ Apply all maintenance-related live loads 
✅ Generate full NR/GN/CIV/025 compliant reports directly within the platform 

✅ Export structured data in CSV format for Network Rail’s Asset Data Dictionary, ensuring smooth and reliable submission.

 

For bridge engineers and assessment professionals, this event is not to be missed: 

1️⃣ Practical insights from expert presentations

2️⃣ Real-world case study: HS2 Project presented by engineers from Arcadis

3️⃣ Networking opportunities with industry specialists
