FY25-16 – NETCON Culvert Works

The Project

The FY25 NETCON Culvert Works project was a critical preventative maintenance program designed to prepare the Goonyella Rail Network for the wet weather season. Our team delivered targeted activities to minimise potential rainfall damage, ensuring effective water management and improved network resilience. By focusing on asset protection and corridor stability, we helped Aurizon maintain safer and more reliable rail operations throughout the peak storm season.
