Cameby Downs Rail Loop Alliance

Six kilometers of earthworks and embankment construction, complete with verge and capping layers, ready for Queensland Rail for laying of ballast and rail on 27 July 2010. This project also includes drainage works consisting of two box culverts and six pipe culverts, maintenance access road, earth swales, fencing and batter protection works.

Challenges

Lack of local materials which satisfy Queensland Rail specifications, relocation of Telstra services, and working under the strict Queensland Coal Mines Act and Regulations.

Clients Specific Needs

Importation and delivery of imported material on a 24-hr operation is the only way to meet material requirements in a tight schedule. Telstra relocation was fast tracked by seeking assistance from Telstra to award relocation works as soon as possible. All site staff are working under strict induction, safety standard operating procedures and constant vigilance with regards to safety.

Any specific OH & S or environmental issues

The project is governed by the Queensland Mines Act and Regulations.
