Pakenham Rail Stabling Yards

As part of the Victorian government’s rail infrastructure upgrade, RAILduct™ was selected for use in the new Pakenham Rail Stabling Yards development located in Victoria to service Melbourne’s eastern suburbs rail corridor. Due to its strength, secure design and ease of installation, RAILduct™ was selected to address lighting and communication cable installations over culverts/road crossings with minimal ground coverage.

Rail solutions that provide ease of installation

Cubis secured the works on the Pakenham project, including cabling protection and a variety of communication access pits, for the 36-hectare site by offering a complete supply package and a range of globally proven product solutions.

The lightweight Class A modular troughing system required no mechanical lifting, with each one (1) metre section rapidly assembled into position on site manually by a small crew.

All installation requirements, including excavation, assembly and backfill, were completed within hours using only standard power tools and no specialist labour or equipment.

The lightweight, sturdy and secure design of the RAILduct™ provided exclusive cabling protection for the Pakenham Rail Stabling Yards project, reinforcing RAILduct™’s versatile application in rail, power and highway projects. Additionally, the timely delivery of eight (8) larger bespoke concrete pits to the Pakenham Rail Stabling Yards project highlighted Cubis’ ability to create customised product despite the tight timeframes for delivery and project completion.

Together, Cubis was able to successfully deliver on the project requirements when customisation, timeliness and complete package supply were the top priorities. Manufacturer capacity and design improvements provided a superior pit solution. By utilising the flexibility, ease of installation and unique security features of Cubis’ RAILduct™ system, the project challenges were efficiently overcome to provide an all-round solution for the  Pakenham Rail Stabling Yards project.
