PERMACAST - MELCONNX METRONET RAIL UPGRADE PROJECT
Location
Robertson Road, Whitby WA, Australia
Client
Public Transport Authority
Steelworks demonstrated exceptional pre-cast concrete capabilities during the MELconnx Metronet rail upgrade.
Our team skilfully handled:
• steel-fixing,
• moulding,
• scaffolding and access works,
• formwork,
• delivering critical structures such as U-beams, transverse planks, piers, and headstocks with precision.
By contributing design solutions, we enhanced constructability, ensuring efficient fabrication and timely project milestones. Our technical acumen was particularly evident as we meticulously executed works within the exacting tolerances and specifications for rail infrastructure as set forth by the Public Transport Authority. Our scope of work encompassed a wide range of technical elements, such as precision earthing and bonding welding works - each weld undergoing rigorous testing and certification - and the implementation of robust cage bracing methods. Our involvement extended to the intricate handling of temporary works engineering, installation of cast-in items, and the incorporation of cooling pipes for concrete curing quality control.
