Playing in the Mud Part 2: Recertifying the North Coast Line after floods
The right tools for the job
This week most of the team at Green Aspect Consulting were called away at short notice to help in the rectification of ARTC’s North Coast line, which required to have all tracks between Maitland and Grafton Train shunted, and all Level Crossing Recertified after the recent weather events.
It is easy to find yourself unprepared for works on short notice and in an unfamiliar area, the North Coast line provides many challenges with poor track access conditions and very limited reception. These conditions can be unforgiving to the unprepared, resulting in the inability to perform the tasks required for the project or must worse being placed in a potentially dangerous situation.
Fortunately, the team at Green Aspect Consulting ensure we all arrive on site more than prepared for the any tasks or conditions that job entails. This week has made me thankful on multiple occasions for all the equipment and training we are provided, without the full recovery equipment and the cellular signal booster this week would have ground to a halt.
