AT A GLANCE

The new railway line (344 km), which connecting the iron ore mine „Roy Hill“ with the harbour of Port Hedland (Western Australia) was finished in 2014.

On this railway line are heavily loaded crossings with traffic of road trains with a total weight of up to 150 t.

Added to this are extreme environmental conditions such as high UV radiation, high temperatures, sand, heavy loads and high speeds.

Therefore the client decided to use our STRAIL level crossing system.
