Dorota和Emily将他们的工作作品在铁路上进行了取证,因为我们的维多利亚式的基础设施使我们的人们猜测它是如何首次建造的。

观看这部电影,听到什么激发了Dorota和Emily探索工程的原因,为什么现在是考虑加入它们的最佳时机:

“即使是现在,我还是想知道事情是如何工作的。”- Emily Pollard,资产工程师

“如果你能梦想,你可以做到。”- Dorota.Durazinska, project engineer

你为什么喜欢工程?

艾米莉:

它允许您构建事物,设计事物,让他们生机。只是制造东西 - 我认为这是非常赋予的。

Dorota:

它允许您为我创造力......为我而言,每一天都不同。每天都会带来新的挑战,每天都会学到新的东西。

艾米莉Pollard finds engineering “empowering”

铁路有什么挑战?

Dorota:

The railway is different because it’s old and we don’t always have the drawings, we don’t have the archived information so you have to work out what’s going on. How did they build it?

艾米莉:

I think the word they’d use is forensic. There’s a lot of trying to work out why things were done the way they were done and how a structure is behaving.

What inspired you to become an engineer?

艾米莉

My maths teacher… I remember thinking, ‘I’m in a maths class doing A-level maths… she did civil engineering… What is civil engineering? Someone said to me, “you build bridges and tunnels,” and I thought ‘oh, and airports and lovely things’. I went, ‘I fancy doing that, that sounds all right’. It was that simple.

我有一个真的,真的很好的老师,他真的搞。它从老师自己开始。

Dorota:

There were lots of boys in my school and I quickly made a lot of friends. I spent a lot of time with them. They were talking about engineering stuff and looking at technical drawings and it was just so important and sounded so clever and I wanted to be like them so I wanted to do what they did.

你为什么加入网络轨道?亚搏彩票软件官网

艾米莉:

I think I accepted a job with Network Rail not particularly because I was joining the railway but because I was joining a company with a lot of engineering paths I could have taken. Network Rail enabled me to pick a path and follow it and if I wasn’t happy with it, quickly switch without having to move companies.

Why is now the best time to be an engineer?

艾米莉:

它正在移动这么快,前进,你想到了我们目前正在进行的新绿色科技。我认为这是成为工程师的完美时间。

Dorota:

你所看到的到处都是,你看到起重机,你看到打桩钻井平台,你看到泰晤士河上的驳船。绝对地发生建设,现在发生了最令人兴奋的项目。

工程是这种广泛的领域 - 有土木工程,机械工程,电气工程 - 每个人都可以找到一些兴趣的东西。

你的工作涉及什么?

艾米莉:

我在肯特照顾结构路线,我只是take a huge interest in tunnels. My job is to make sure if it goes over the railway or under the railway, it has to stay there – safely.

[Dorota reviews] the designs of the structure, I review the examinations of those structures so once I get the exam, I can look at it, look at the exam I did the year before that and the year before that. My job is to pick up on trends in defects that hopefully we can intervene before they become an emergency repair that might require us to close the line.

如果我发现需要修复的任何缺陷,我可能会要求一个设计,[意味着我]将来到[dorota]。

Dorota:

我的工作中的一大部分是继续保持现有的结构,这在铁路上非常老了......每次我们在一起,我们都分享我们的想法,我们彼此学习。
