Infrastructure

Specialised rail civil construction for operational and regional environments.

Built for rail environments

Our team is experienced in rail-specific civil delivery, from formation and drainage through to precision survey and machine control.

With SARC and RIW certified personnel, rail-compliant plant, and flexible mobilisation, we deliver works in both live and offline environments.

Principal contractor capability

Prequalified to Category 1, 2, and 3 with the capacity to manage major works under our own HSE MS and QR SEMS frameworks.

Responsive and regional

We support large-scale rail upgrades as well as smaller, fast-moving maintenance and access works in regional and remote locations.

Proven safety and compliance

ISO 9001, 45001, and 18001 certified, with Federal Safety Accreditation. Our work prioritises stakeholder safety and network continuity.

Our Rail Services

Our survey and machine control systems are proven in live rail environments, supporting civil works that demand precision, compliance, and coordination. 

We deliver:

Earthworks

Formation, embankments, and grading with GPS control.

Drainage 

Accurate placement of culverts and water management systems.

Track works

Supporting set-out and preparation for new and existing rail corridors.

Reinforced concrete works

Including footings, pits, and other structural elements.

Shotcrete and trenching

Used in steep, unstable, or confined areas.

Underground services

Including precision boring and utility installations.

Rail Survey Trolley

Our rail survey trolley is a lightweight, high-precision solution designed for rapid data collection across live rail environments.

  • Auto-centering and spring-loaded mechanism adjusts to varying track widths for consistent accuracy
  • GNSS and tilt-sensing allows easy capture of curves and gradients
  • Seamlessly integrates with total station and GNSS prism systems
  • Compact and portable for fast setup and transport without the cost of full automation

Specialist Equipment

Our fleet includes rail-compliant, height-limited, and GPS-enabled machines, ensuring safe, accurate operation in complex and constrained environments.

Height-limited excavators and loaders 

Designed for safe operation near overhead infrastructure.

Sleeper grabs

Purpose-built for efficient rail sleeper handling.

Tamper heads

For precise ballast compaction and stability.

Fully integrated GPS systems

Seamless alignment with our survey control data for accurate delivery.
