Working hours

Forbes Station, Sam Street to Wyndham Avenue

Local Government Area

Work being done

Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC), Vocus Group and Constructive Communications will be relocating Optical Fibre cable within the rail corridor.

Majority of the relocation works will involve open trench excavation except for works at Wyndham Avenue where Horizontal Direction Drilling (HDD) will occur under the road. All work areas will be fenced to ensure public safety.

What can I expect

There may be an increase in noise and traffic movements in the area during our works.

Majority of vehicle movements will be at the start and end of day.

Towards the end of the works there will be some minor splicing works completed after hours, but this will be done with small hand tools, which will create minimal noise and traffic impacts to the local community.

Machinery used

  • Excavators,
  • loaders,
  • dump trucks,
  • vacuum excavation trucks,
  • water carts,
  • generators and
  • drilling rigs will be used.
