Alliances
The COALRAIL Infrastructure Program is being delivered by QR Network via alliances with industry partners or by traditional contracting means.
The benefits of these alliances include a cooperative and flexible approach to delivering complex projects over time, building strong relationships with the private sector, and achieving considerable savings in time and cost to QR and the industry.
As part of the Program, QR Network has teamed up with design and construction partners to form delivery alliance groups.
Coal Stream
The Coal Stream Alliance was formed to deliver works that will increase the operational efficiency and capacity of the QR coal rail network, specifically through the upgrade of Jilalan Rail Yard and part of the Goonyella to Abbot Point Expansion Project.
The Jilalan Rail Yard upgrade will improve the performance of the Goonyella Coal Chain from the mines, by rail, to the Dalrymple Bay and Hay Point coal terminals.
QR has teamed with Alliance members Aurecon Hatch, Parsons Brinckerhoff, Macmahon Holdings Limited and MVM Rail to deliver design and construction for these projects. This work includes track construction, rail yard facility upgrades, bridge and road building and upgrades.
Coal Stream Projects
The scope of Coal Stream's works covers two projects:
Coal Connect
QR Network has appointed CoalConnect to deliver components of the Goonyella to Abbot Point Expansion Project.
