Assisted in development work for Kagaru to Acacia Ridge Section including the preliminary assessment of the scope required to deliver the ARTC Melbourne to Brisbane Inland Rail (MBIR) Service Offering for the 37km section between Kagaru (from chainage of approximately 935km to 941km, subject to design development) and Acacia Ridge (972.470, the ARTC boundary with QR, being the end of the Interstate Leased Network). The section is a brownfield site that forms part of the currently operating Sydney to Queensland North Coast Line.
The purpose was to rectify the long term reliability and capacity issue on the Hunter Valley Network. The project provided vertical separation of the two rail lines while solving numerous technical, community and environmental issues. The Project Team, employed on client side (prior to establishing EJC Projects) led the critical $80M project (Sandgate Grade Separation) to resolve the train-running conflict at the busiest junction in the Hunter Valley. The work included; stakeholder consultation, EIS, federal and state environmental approvals, VFM options (with expert consultant), Business Case presentation at 5 milestone gateways to ARTC Executive and rail customers, development and delivery of a risk management plan and Configuration Change Plan (including training packages for new product operation and maintenance). The Project received a number of high-profile awards, notably: Transport and Logistics, National Achievement of the Year Award 2007 and Engineers Australia Newcastle Region Project of the Year 2007.
This project involved the strategy development, approvals and construction of approximately 12.5kms of train storage and the removal and relocation of the existing down main. The purpose was to alleviate system congestion on the coal network by providing infrastructure to allow for re-sequencing or storage of loaded coal trains prior to their arrival at the Port thereby increasing operational flexibility. The Project Team, employed on client side (prior to establishing EJC Projects) led the $138M project. The now EJC Team included General Manager, Project Director, Project Managers, Contract Specialists and Site Supervisors to work within the UHVA Alliance Team.
The EJC Team assisted with the delivery of the Inland Rail Programme Phase 1 Concept Assessment and Phase 2 Project Feasibility development activities. This work was delivered in accordance with Inland Rail Proposal Report deliverables, for multiple large infrastructure projects, to ensure projects can be constructed safely, on time and on budget.
EJC provided senior project management and constructability advice for the Illabo to Stockinbingal and North Star to Yelarbon Greenfield projects. The Illabo to Stockinbingal project consists of approximately 37km of new track. This new track will reduce the overall route distance by 30km and avoid the Bethungra Spiral. The North Star to Yelarbon project consists of approximately 52km of new track. This new track will complete one of the key missing links and provide a new, efficient connection between our farms and export markets.
The Project Team, employed on client side (prior to establishing EJC Projects) led the various Heavy Haul Rail Projects supporting the HV Coal Industry (30T axle load) across the Hunter Valley (35 in total), including;
The EJC Team included General Manager, Project Director, Project Managers, Contract Specialists and Site Supervisors.
