—WODONGA
INTERMODAL
PARK PROJECT,
VICTORIA
Our specialised rail knowledge
has been put to good use,
allowing our customer to
successfully commission a
new freight terminal in
Barnawatha, Victoria.
Stage 1 of the Wodonga
Intermodal Park Project saw
us retained to provide project
management and inventory
support, as well track and
signal design and signals
installation. This support allowed
the northern and southern
loop connections to the new
terminal to be commissioned
in November 2016.
We are delivering Stage 2 of the
project which will provide a high
speed crossover to the south of
the terminal connection, greatly
reducing the section length
and increasing capacity for all
operators. This stage will be
commissioned in August 2017.
—BROMELTON
INTERMODAL
FACILITY AND
QUARRY
Our support has seen a new
intermodal facility and an
existing quarry linked with
the Interstate network in
Bromelton, Queensland.
The main line Bromelton Quarry
connection required our project
management support and we
were called upon to assist
with inventory support and
signalling and communications
design and installation for the
Bromelton Intermodal Facility.
The Bromelton Quarry siding
(previously known as the Blue
Metal Siding) is a northbound
connection although it is able to
operate to the south via a run-
around at the Bromelton Loop.
Both connections were
successfully delivered
in late January 2017.
—ADELAIDE -
TARCOOLA
RE-RAILING
ACCELERATION
UPGRADE
PROJECT
A major upgrade to the East
West line between Adelaide
and Tarcoola will allow our
customers to run faster and
heavier trains on this stretch
of the Interstate network.
The $252 million project is
fully funded by the Australian
Government and involves the
re-railing of approximately
600 kilometres of track as
well as upgrades to level
crossings, turnouts and bridge
strengthening to allow faster
and heavier trains.
Steel for the new rails is being
sourced from Whyalla and
our upgraded Port Augusta
Flashbutt welding facility is
preparing the rail for installation.
The project started in mid-2016
and is scheduled for completion
in mid-to-late 2019.
