DP WORLD | BOTANY INTERMODAL
RAIL REPAIR WORKS
Taylor Rail have completed contracted rail repair works at Botany Intermodal (Park 1). The works
included:
- Replacement of approximately 140m of condemned rail track with new 53kg/m head hardened rail
- Concrete encasing around the new track and a refurbished ballast approach section including new approach slab
- A drainage system was also installed between point BY34 and the canal bridge to prevent water bogging, as was previously evident.
- Two undertrack ducts were installed along the canal boundary to allow for future services.
Works were completed ahead of schedule, allowing Botany Intermodal to provide a complete and
reliable service to the logistics industry. The high standard set by engineering consultants James
Rose Consultants, working on behalf of DP World Logistics, was met and practical handover
completed Tuesday 10 October, 6 days ahead of schedule.
