Client

Roy Hill and NRW Construction

Project outline

The Roy Hill Rail project consisted of 344 km of railway line connecting the Roy Hill mine in the Pilbara, WA, to the port loading facilities at Port Hedland.

Year

2013-2014

Scope of works:

Our principle scope of works consisted of the on-site production of 4,200 tonnes of Stilcor CSP culverts, ranging diameter from 600 to 3,600mm. Further work included the design and supply of three large span B381 haul road underpasses, supplied to Roy Hill directly. To ensure the timely supply of culverts to the numerous installation crews, located throughout the chainage, we simultaneously ran two on-site mills across 7 locations, over a five-month period. The project was completed on time and without incident

The B381 arch details were as follow:

XP1:

Span = 9,000mm Rise = 5,145mm Length = 82.0m.

XP2 & XP4:

Span = 7,500mm Rise = 4,545mm Length = 82.0m.
