DT Infrastructure<\/a> has announced its selection to construct a rail siding facility for CBH Group in Konnongorring, Western Australia.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The contract encompasses a comprehensive scope of works that will enhance the region’s freight network to meet present and future demands.<\/p>\n

At Konnongorring, the new rail siding will help transform the site from being a predominately road transport site to a rail and road site, taking trucks off the road.<\/p>\n

Currently it takes around 14 hours to load a 52-wagon train using existing infrastructure at Konnongorring; with the siding and future facility construction works, this time will be reduced to approximately four hours.<\/p>\n

Scheduled to commence in April 2024, DT Infrastructure will oversee the construction of the rail siding extension and rapid loading facility. The project scope includes the construction of a 52-wagon rail siding spanning more than a kilometre, as well as the removal and replacement of existing track structures and turnouts.<\/p>\n

DT Infrastructure will install two turnouts and catchpoints to seamlessly link the mainline with the new rail loading facility. This future facility will house two new 1,500-tonne Over Rail Bins (ORB), revolutionising grain loading operations and enhancing overall efficiency.<\/p>\n

The civil component of the project encompasses, surveying, earthworks, foundation preparation (including piling works), concrete works, drainage works, rail and pavement construction.<\/p>\n

General Manager Cormac Brady said DT Infrastructure is honoured to be part of the Konnongorring Rail Project, a significant opportunity to deliver essential infrastructure for Western Australia’s wheat belt.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe look forward to collaborating with CBH Group and stakeholders to ensure the successful completion of this project, enabling smoother operations and enhancing the region’s agricultural supply chain,\u201d Cormac said.<\/p>\n

This project marks one of eleven rail siding upgrades outlined in package one of the Western Australian Government\u2019s $200 million Agricultural Supply Chain Improvement (ASCI) program in conjunction with CBH.<\/p>\n
