Location: Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia
Business Segment: Urban Solutions
Industry: Infrastructure
Services: Maintenance
Executive Summary
Three months after Fluor became infrastructure works and maintenance provider for the New South Wales Rail Access Corporation (RAC), a severe storm hit the Wollongong area.
Client's Challenge
Track damage, mainly between the Wollongong suburbs of Thirroul and Stanwell Park, forced a suspension of train services on one of the contracted lines. The first challenge was to get the trains moving again.
Fluor's Solution
We focused on ensuring that the infrastructure remained fit to operate trains. We mounted extra patrols; reballasted scoured bridge ends; stripped down, dried out and relocated damaged signaling equipment; effected temporary repairs to embankment slumps; and cleared blocked drains.
Conclusion
We had been the successful bidder when the RAC first tendered maintenance contracts. “The contract took Fluor into a new generation of alliances and delivered significant savings, while maintaining the high standards of safety and reliability required by the RAC,” said Byrd Isom, vice president and general manager of Fluor's Australian maintenance business at the time.
