Gosford Passing Loop

Freight trains on the Main North Line between Sydney and Newcastle caused passenger service delays, with no adequate overtaking facilities between major centres on the Central Coast.

Construct two new passing loops between Gosford and Narara stations to allow passenger trains to overtake freight services, improving reliability for both freight and passenger operations.

Our crane trucks and transport fleet supported the construction of six new rail bridges and passing loop infrastructure. Our railway-specific equipment handled precise component positioning during the $93 million project delivery.

Completed in 2015 as part of the Northern Sydney Freight Corridor Program, eliminating a serious bottleneck and significantly improving passenger service reliability on the Central Coast corridor.

Ulan Line Re-railing – Hunter Valley

The critical Ulan Line in the Hunter Valley required comprehensive track renewal to maintain safe, reliable coal transportation from mines to the Port of Newcastle, essential for Australia’s coal export industry.

Complete extensive re-railing and track reconditioning works across multiple locations including Mangoola, Sandy Hollow, and Baerami to maintain the heavy-haul capacity required for coal transport operations.

Our dumpers and materials handling equipment supported ballast operations and track component transport in challenging Hunter Valley conditions. Our railway-trained operators worked efficiently during network shutdowns to minimise export disruptions.

Successfully maintained the Hunter Valley’s critical coal transportation capability, ensuring continued reliable heavy-haul operations on one of Australia’s most important freight rail corridors.

Clyde Junction Project

The Lidcombe to Granville rail corridor required infrastructure upgrades to improve network reliability and capacity, particularly for access to critical Auburn maintenance facilities.

Upgrade junction infrastructure to enhance operational flexibility and reduce conflicts in the busy western Sydney rail network, improving service reliability for both freight and passenger operations.

Our specialised railway equipment provided precision support for complex junction modifications in constrained urban environments. Our operators’ railway expertise ensured safe, efficient work during limited possession windows.

Successfully delivered enhanced junction capacity and improved network reliability, supporting increased operational flexibility in the western Sydney rail corridor.

North Strathfield Rail Underpass

The Main North Line created a significant bottleneck where freight trains had to cross existing passenger tracks, causing delays and capacity constraints for both freight and passenger services.

Construct a rail underpass to eliminate freight train conflicts with passenger services, improving network reliability and capacity between Strathfield and Newcastle as part of the $1.1bn Northern Sydney Freight Corridor Program.

Our specialised transport and crane truck fleet supported the construction of a 150m tunnel and 3.2km of new track infrastructure. Our purpose-built equipment handled the precise positioning of heavy railway components during critical possession windows.

Project completed in June 2015, successfully eliminating freight delays and improving passenger service reliability. The grade separation now allows freight trains to operate without crossing passenger lines, significantly reducing network bottlenecks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Safety isn’t a checkbox for us – it’s how we operate. We maintain comprehensive safety systems specifically designed for railway environments, including detailed protocols for electrical safety, track protection, and emergency response. Our operators undergo regular refresher training, and we conduct thorough equipment inspections before every deployment. We stay current with Sydney Trains safety requirements through regular communication with safety officers and participation in industry safety forums.

We select operators based on both technical skills and their understanding of railway environments. New team members typically have prior experience in either heavy machinery operation or railway work. Our training includes a comprehensive onboarding process covering railway safety protocols, equipment operation, and emergency procedures. We’re also planning to build a “dummy track” in our yard for more comprehensive operator training, allowing hands-on experience in a controlled environment.

We primarily service the Sydney metropolitan area and surrounding regions where Sydney Trains operates railway infrastructure. We operate from two locations: our main yard in Llandilo and a secondary yard in Telarah associated with the rail depot. For projects outside these areas, we can discuss mobilisation requirements and timelines during your initial consultation.

Yes, we maintain sufficient backup equipment for critical components of our fleet. In railway work, where delays can cost millions in penalties, this redundancy is essential. Our equipment undergoes rigorous maintenance schedules to minimise the risk of breakdown, but should an issue occur, we can quickly deploy replacement equipment to ensure your project remains on schedule.

Unlike companies that “just throw anyone on” jobs, our operators undergo comprehensive railway-specific training, including track safety awareness, electrical hazards in rail corridors, and coordination with protection officers. We use a structured “buddy system” where new operators work alongside experienced team members for multiple shifts before operating independently. All operators maintain current rail corridor certifications and site-specific inductions.

We understand the critical nature of railway possession windows and can typically mobilise equipment within 48 hours for standard requirements. For emergency response situations, we maintain ready teams and equipment that can deploy much faster. During your initial consultation, we’ll provide specific timeframes based on your project location and equipment requirements.

Our equipment is purpose-built for railway environments, with modifications specifically designed to address the unique challenges of rail corridors. For example, our high-rail trucks feature retractable train wheels allowing them to operate on both road and rail, while our specialised dump trucks use balloon tyres that distribute weight properly on railway ballast to prevent track damage. These railway-specific features enable more efficient operations during critical possession windows.
