Construction
Taylor Rail has been building significant Australian rail infrastructure since the early 1970s, constructing the 57km Bell Bay railway line and then onto the challenging 1 in 8 rack-rail line in the Snowy Mountains for the Perisher Ski Tube in the mid 1980s; Taylor Rail has always been up to the challenge.
Today, Taylor Rail has diversified to be able to design and construct rail infrastructure projects that include signalling, OHLE, intermodals, port upgrades, level crossing grade separations, mainline passing loops and straight track, rail bridges, rail siding upgrades and rail terminals.
Our self perform approach where we utilise our specialist plant, experienced people and rail-relevant systems mean that we repeatedly bring value to our clients.
Notable recent projects include the full civil, rail, and services scope for the major upgrade of the Parkes Phase 2 Terminal in Parkes, NSW; complete rail and overhead traction works for the $1.1 billion MRPA Level Crossing Removal Program in Melbourne, Victoria; and rail and civil works on the Joppa North SHOO Project for Abergeldie and ARTC in NSW. Additional key projects include the full rail and overhead traction scope for the Light Service Facility (LCT) as part of the $2.4 billion High Capacity Metro Trains Project in Melbourne; the rail and signalling scope for the Port Rail Transformation Project in Melbourne; and all rail scope for the new rail terminal at Glenlee, NSW.
