Cantilever Assemblies

Australian Rail Technology is able to provide both partially and fully assembled cantilever assemblies and weight assemblies. These can be delivered individually (palletised) or by crate loads for wire runs which enables rapid installation during rail possession.

Currently Australian Rail Technology is contracted to supply and assemble 391 cantilevers, 38 Twin Tension Regulator Assemblies and a small quantity of clamps and jumpers. Delivery of material is to follow a pre programmed schedule allowing six weeks notification prior to possession, commencing September 2010 with scheduled completion in July 2012.

• ART is responsible for developing a Quality Plan incorporating testing and checking procedures on Suppliers’ incoming material. We conduct a quality inspection (incorporating external examination) on all incoming material for the project.
• In particular, we have developed our own Inspection and Test Plan to conform with or exceed the requirements of Railcorp Engineering Electrical Standard EP08000013SP and all other applicable Australian Standards.
• We use data from the computer program “CCalc” together with the relevant Railcorp drawings to generate a bill of materials for a cantilever which is assembled ready for erection on site.
• We configure and pre-assemble cantilevers to ensure exact contact wire positioning for specific masts. The result is that individual cantilevers can be dropped on site and installed immediately saving on valuable track possession time.
