Turnout Renewal

Expert Rail Turnout Renewals

PRM has delivered large scale turnout renewal and asset replacement programs for some of Australia’s largest mining companies.

Replacing or overhauling turnouts can be a significant investment. That’s why our expert team focuses on maximising asset lifespan while enhancing the safety and reliability of your rail network.

Whether you need single gauge, mixed gauge or dual gauge turnouts, we tailor our solutions to meet your specific requirements.

Using advanced equipment, like our Narrow Head Flashbutt Welding truck, we can assemble and install entire railway turnouts without any aluminothermic welds. This process guarantees stronger, more durable joints and superior overall quality.

With PRM, you can trust that every project is completed to the highest standard.
