OUR BALLAST CLEANING PROCESS
PLANNING
Comprehensive planning across supply chain, access and worksite setup ensures efficient mobilisation and execution.
HIGH-OUTPUT CLEANING
Ballast cleaning using the Plasser RM900 and MFS spoil wagons delivers reliable performance in constrained closedown windows.
RESURFACING SUPPORT
Resurfacing activities are integrated with cleaning operations to ensure track geometry compliance and smooth hand back.
INFRASTRUCTURE INTERFACE MANAGEMENT
We manage fixed infrastructure like crossings and wayside assets to maintain safety and minimise worksite disruptions.
BALLAST AND SPOIL HANDLING
Efficient ballast recovery and spoil disposal to support track resilience and reduce maintenance cycles.
RAIL & STRESS CONTROL
Rail stress testing and destressing ensures long-term track integrity and reduces the risk of failures or restrictions.
PROVEN DELIVERY FOR COMPLEX RAIL NETWORKS
PRM’s ballast cleaning capability is built on national expertise and shaped by performance on one of the world’s toughest railways.
Our delivery of ballast cleaning projects in the Pilbara demonstrates a complete service model, including machine operations, resurfacing, spoil handling and supplementary works like drainage reinstatement and mud hole removal.
We understand the operational cost of poor track condition and we focus on reducing unplanned maintenance, speed restrictions and freight delays.
Through our strategic partnerships we leverage world class equipment to successfully deliver projects at maximum efficiency.
EXTEND TRACK LIFE, REDUCE DOWNTIME
Ballast cleaning can be a cost-effective way to restore track stability by removing fouled ballast that compromises drainage and performance.
Unlike full ballast replacement, ballast cleaning extends the life of existing materials while reducing the risk of speed restrictions and emergency repairs. For clients, this means fewer disruptions, safer operations and long-term savings.
