Abstract: Abstract The economic growth as well as sustainable development of industries and entire country are determined to a great extent by the transport infrastructure development. The organisations that manufacture and develop critical infrastructure such as transport and/or energy must be efficiently managed, as they are key role players in the economic development of a country. To improve economic growth, sustainable efforts to innovate and develop engineering infrastructure can be made through various planning processes that consider the state of social well-being. There has been a widespread of system pressing issues, which resulted from the rolling power blackouts to congested transport systems in South Africa. The negative impact has resulted in economic decline. This paper aims to explore the planning concept of national well-being and determine technical factors that will improve the energy engineering management system with a strong focus on maximizing the interdependency of well-being strategies to improve freight rail business success.
