Middlemount Coal Rail Spur Project

The Middlemount Coal Rail Spur project involved the planning, approvals, design, construction, and commissioning of a 17km spur line and balloon loop from the South Goonyella Line to the Middlemount mine in central Queensland. The critical component of the signalling delivery was the tie-in to the QR main line.

Works delivered by RCSG on this project included:

• Preliminary signalling scheme design to address the needs of the project and in accordance with QR standards
• Detailed signalling design for the balloon loop and critically the interface to the main line as well as changes to the main line signalling
• Design, verification and off-site principles testing of Microlok computer based interlocking
• Testing and commissioning support
