Worn and damaged railway tracks are a critical issue that needs swift attention. When patch ups or traditional maintenance methods fail, track renewal works are essential for maintaining the safety and performance of rail infrastructure.
Track renewals require a comprehensive approach that includes reconstructing and upgrading the track. This process presents unique challenges, particularly when working on a live network where rail traffic and ongoing production must continue with minimal disruption.
Our team excels in addressing these issues with precision and professionalism. We implement efficient, cost-effective solutions designed to work around your operations, minimising downtime and accommodating your operational needs.
Cutting our teeth in the rugged terrain of the Pilbara, we’ve mastered the art of navigating strict schedules, delicate environmental and heritage sites, and tight rail corridors.
What We Do
Thorough inspection and planning to select the best methodology, minimising impact while achieving optimal outcomes.
Sleepers laid using specialist equipment, including low-labour GPS sleeper laying system and remote-controlled panel lifters.
New steel rails are installed utilising all-terrain Mobile Flashbutt Welder, delivering precise welding in challenging geography.
Our experienced team ensures turnouts meet OEM tolerances, delivering durable, high-quality assets for reliable performance.
Old ballast is replaced using innovative conveyor and GPS-guided systems for enhanced efficiency, quality and safety.
Post-installation alignment ensures track precision, crucial for safe and efficient train operations.
Conduct VERSE testing, analyse data adjust rail stress levels, and follow up with testing to confirm effectiveness.
Track renewals can be fraught with complexities, especially when it comes to predicting costs and timelines with unknowns lurking beneath the surface.
Unlike many companies that rely on historical or modelled data, PRM prioritises thorough investigative work from the beginning. Our team invests substantial time and resources into detailed upfront surveys and inspections. This ensures that our project methodologies are grounded in precise, real-time data, not assumptions.
By identifying potential challenges early, we can adapt our strategies effectively, avoiding costly surprises and delays down the line.
This not only extends the lifespan of your assets but also reduces maintenance needs and operational costs over the long term. This means fewer disruptions, minimised downtime and a better investment.
