OUR EXPERIENCE RIO TINTO In 2019, Monadelphous was awarded a three-year contract with Rio Tinto, with a further two three-year extension options, for the provision of rail network maintenance services on the largest privately-owned and operated rail system in Australia, located in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. The 1,700-kilometre rail network, which services 16 mines and four independent port terminals, is capable of moving approximately one million tonnes of iron ore a day. The network is constructed to carry trains which are typically configured as three head end locomotives hauling 240 ore cars, each with a gross mass of 32,300 tonnes and measuring more than two kilometres in length. Monadelphous’ scope of work includes general track maintenance and renewals services on the coastal component of the rail network, resurfacing services across Rio Tinto’s entire rail network and rail workshop services. Our Track Maintenance and Renewals crews are made up of specialist Track Maintainers and Supervisors who carry out the work supported by a dedicated, regionally based Area Manager, Superintendents, Track Engineers, Safety Advisors and administrators.
