Heavy Haul Rail

Our rail team provides engineering and advisory services that improve the capacity, reliability, resilience and whole-of-life performance of heavy-haul and freight railway infrastructure.

We provide structural and civil engineering services for major intermodal facilities, refurbishment, upgrade projects and new rail lines. We have a strong reputation for heavy haul projects through our ongoing involvement in railway infrastructure. Our experience extends to the field of hydrology models, waterways analysis, bridges and culvert design.

“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.”
