Infrastruction were successfully awarded the Building and Civil works associated with the development of
a new RailCorp Substation at Auburn.  The project saw Infrastruction working in partnership with a high
voltage electrical contractor to deliver the total package to RailCorp.

Infrastruction’s scope of work included a large piled retaining wall with capping beam in close vicinity to
the railway tracks.  Infrastruction  had also installed large electrical pits near the tracks and a large storm
water pipeline parallel to the tracks.  Infrastruction excavated and installed footings, foundation walls and
slab for the substation.  Infrastruction also installed a complex system of electrical conduits under the
building and connections to external pits.  The project also included all building works, concrete and
bitumen pavements, landscaping, and fencing.  Infrastruction met all the stringent earthing requirements
for all reinforcement and Structural steel incorporated in the project.

Infrastruction performed all works under the contract whilst maintaining RailCorp’s stringent safety and
quality requirements.  These safety requirements were successfully maintained even with the added
complication of a 33Kva RailCorp power line over the building, for which Infrastruction had to implement
strict controls when working in close vicinity,  as it could not be shut down for long periods.

Infrastruction was able to deliver successful project outcomes by utilising the existing skillets within the
organisation.  All employees on the project have done the Rail Industry Safety Induction course and  are
well experienced in working in and around the Rail corridor.
