We delivered an effective solution to enable autonomous mining access over a live rail network. Agilitus collaborated with Central Systems to deliver both steel plate and concrete arch structures at Fortescue’s Cloudbreak Iron Ore Mine. The project involved the construction of a concrete arch over a live rail network which provided some unique challenges and additional safety considerations. Significant planning and effort were required to safely complete the project while accommodating regular interruptions of the Fortescue trains. Full credit is awarded to the entire team and their ability to consider, plan and deliver the project safely. The project was delivered through the COVID-19 lockdown, meaning a significant component of the design was delivered by our teams working remotely. The highly collaborative nature of the partnership between Fortescue, Central Systems and Agilitus was instrumental in the success of this project.
“At Agilitus, our point of difference lies in the approach to fit for purpose design informed by our deep understanding across the full life cycle of heavy haul rail. Our design is informed by real world operational rail experience from our team who are routinely involved with predictive asset management for major heavy haul rail operators across Australia on a range of greenfields and brownfields projects.
Our design is led by senior technical specialists who apply experienced engineering judgement in the delivery of pragmatic, delivery focused solutions. This approach is shaped by decades of experience on some of Australia’s largest and most complex rail and mining infrastructure projects. Our expertise is multidisciplinary and integrated covering geotechnical, civil, hydrology, structural and systems engineering into a single coordinated service. This ensures that design decisions are supported from constructability, operational efficiency, long term resilience and whole of life value perspectives.”
