When: 3 September 2024, 18:30 - 20:00
Where: Zoom Webinar
Speaker: Chris Koningen Fd Eng, Design and Delivery Principal engineer/Team Leader, Kent County Council

In April/May 2024, Kent County Council converted the Running House Roundabout, Maidstone to an innovative layout based on the Dutch turbo roundabout. This builds on the design previously implemented at Flanders Roundabout, Ashford in October 2019, albeit on a much larger scale. Running Horse Roundabout was one of the highest crash sites in the county in terms of personal injury incidents despite following standard design principals, so a radical approach was needed.

Chris Koningen, Principal Design and Project Manager for the scheme, introduced the turbo roundabout concept to Kent from the Netherlands and adapted the design to be suitable for use in the UK, whilst considering the availability of materials. The road markings and sign symbols were his own design, as the existing UK regulations and design manuals do not include the required layouts.

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first junction that uses virtual lane separation in this way, and if successful it is hoped that it will become a familiar sight on British roads, as it is in the Netherlands.

The presentation will cover the background to why a new layout was needed, data collection to inform the causation factors of the incidents, design, material choice, pre-construction contractor involvement, installation and post-construction monitoring.

Russell Jackson, Global Transit Director, AECOM

"The future of rail in a background of high uncertainty
What is the view of rail outside of the UK – a different perspective"

UK Railways are at a real crossroads. But every challenge is an opportunity. Do we stick, twist or bust? Across the globe, the case for railways is strong, with massive capital investment driving public transport connectivity and decarbonisation. America is on the cusp of a high speed rail revolution. Canada is experiencing unprecedented rail investment and is thinking radically for megaproject delivery. Asia is a powerhouse of cost effective metro. Australia’s level of ambition is next level. In the Middle East rail investment is rising again. Through learning from other regions, how can the UK re-affirm our commitment and capability in railways as a driver of economic growth, connecting communities, and achieving our net zero targets?

As AECOM’s Global Transit Executive Vice President, Russell provides worldwide leadership and strategic direction across $1.2bn of annual Transit revenues. AECOM is the number 1 transit firm by fees in 2023 according to Engineering News-Record. Russell’s focus is on key clients, capability, major programme delivery, large-scale pursuits and industry thought leadership. As Global Transit EVP he leads the strategy for growth in the sector. 

Russell with his unique position in one of the world’s largest rail consultancies can provide some real insight into what is going on outside of the UK and what we can learn from our industry colleagues around the world, so that we reinvigorate our rail industry at home.
