Wirrinya Yard, Start of Construction and Out-of-Hours Works
Inland Rail contractor, Martinus Rail, plans to undertake site establishment and construction works at Wirrinya Yard. Site Establishment will begin from 22 January 2025, with construction works to follow.
Work being done
- Cadastral Surveys
- Establishment of our construction zones, compounds and laydown areas
- Establishment of construction-only access driveways on Gap Road
- Slashing
- Topsoil stripping & grubbing
- Track works
- Drainage works
- Internal fence line realignment
- Track tamping and realignment
What can I expect?
- Heavy vehicle movements, earth-moving activities, track works
- Some of these works will be noisy. You may hear truck engines and engine noise from machines.
- Use of non-tonal reversing alarms on all equipment and turning off equipment when not in use.
- Instructing workers to keep noise to a minimum and being respectful of our neighbours.
Machinery used
Equipment used for work includes but is not limited to; hydrema, front end loaders, excavators, tandem trucks, flatbed trucks, rail deliveries including loco, generators, hand tools, flash welding, ballast tamper & regulator, moxy trucks and lighting towers.
Vehicle Movements
During the works, vehicle movements will be to and from site as well as on site to facilitate earthworks.
Traffic controllers will be available to direct traffic to and from site where needed.
How we're managing impacts
- Traffic controls will be in place, where required.
- Water carts will be on-site to wet down areas to assist in managing dust.
- Works programmed to best minimise noise impacts. We will aim to minimise noise from the works.
- Unfortunately, some construction activities are inherently noisy which cannot be avoided. Properties near the construction site can expect to hear:
- excavation (activity involving the removal of existing surfaces such as rock, soil, pavement, and other substances
- movements of heavy vehicles
- loading, unloading or moving equipment and construction materials
