Stockyard Rail Replacement
PROJECT SUMMARY

The project involved detailed planning and installation of new rail, concrete sleepers and rail ballast; new earthing, drainage and adjustable rail cross ties for machine performance.
- The new rails were installed to a high tolerance with a 20+ year design life and the project was completed 15% underbudget and early with no injuries.
