New Generation Rolling Stock (NGRS) Stabling Yard
Project Overview
Design and construct high-security fencing, gates, and 5 purpose-built storage sheds for a stabling yard servicing up to 100 trains daily. Scope included 358 mesh with koala barrier and anti-dig footing, concrete acoustic fencing, hydraulic curtain gates, and boom gates.
The Challenge
This project required Fencepac to respond to real site conditions, stakeholder requirements, and delivery constraints while maintaining quality, safety, and program performance. Our role was not just to build the scope, but to manage the work in a way that kept the broader project moving.
Our Approach
Fencepac coordinated the project through disciplined planning, close communication with the client and adjacent work fronts, and practical site leadership. Design, procurement, programming, and installation were aligned so the team could adapt to changing conditions without losing control of safety or quality.
The Result
The finished outcome reflects what clients expect from Fencepac: a well-managed project, a compliant and durable installation, and a team that can work through complex site conditions while protecting program certainty.
⚡Key Challenges
- ▸Up to 100 trains using the yard day and night — all works coordinated around continuous rail operations with zero tolerance for service disruption
- ▸Adjacent residential properties required acoustic barriers, but budget constraints ruled out traditional concrete solutions
- ▸1,200m of koala tin barrier integrated into the security fence line to protect local wildlife corridors
Positive Outcomes
- Delivered 2 months ahead of schedule with zero lost time injuries
- Innovated hollow core concrete as an acoustic barrier — first-ever use for noise protection, achieving equivalent effectiveness at significantly lower cost
- 1,200m of koala barrier installed protecting local wildlife without compromising security integrity
