RECENT PROJECTS  
   ADRAIL    
ADRAIL is the consortium currently constructing the $1.3 billion Alice Springs to Darwin railway.
Locomotive sanding shed control system.    


IES was contracted to design and install the control system for the Adrail locomotive sanding shed.

The system involves 2 sand storage tanks, level control and dust collection.

Sand is delivered by pneumatic road tanker and blown into the storage tanks.
Level control sensors control the loading and provide level indication.

 

  


Discharge is by gravity to the sand storage compartments on the locomotive.

The sand is discharged by the loco for additional traction when accelerating or climbing.
Locomotive Turntable    


IES was contracted to assist with the installation and commissioning of the locomotive turntable.

The structure was constructed in Perth and trucked to Darwin.

It has a capacity of 150 ton and will be commissioned with a 138 ton locomotive.

Runway beams were attached to the roof trusses and the gantry beam design incorporated a canterlever to maximise span and lifting height.
