Logistics played a huge part in the planning process of this project as usual track renewals techniques could not be used as the client does not have renewal trains and limited numbers of OTP, the site had only 1 available access due to riverbanks and land levels, this access was to be used by Rhomberg Sersa undertaking the rail works and our JV Partner undertaking the civil and building works.
