Rehabilitation

Cross Cut Management

Rehabilitate cross-cuts — mud loading, drains, rail and track.

Titan Mining have specialised teams to rehabilitate cross cuts. Our crews load mud in the haulages and cross cut sections, grade and re-align tracks, and re-install drains, pumps, piping and drain columns.

Our Rail and Track Rehabilitation teams replace rails, sleepers and drains, rebuild bunt walls, and perform rail maintenance and ballasting.

We measure and manufacture step-up fish plates to correct horizontal alignment, with pre-stressed sleeper support fitting beneath the fish plate joint for additional support. Rail shims are manufactured to correct gaps between rails at joints.

Cross Cut Management: Rehabilitated crosscut. Slurry loaded out, footwall cleaned, ballast reinstated and the travelling way restored with refreshed support props. — Rehabilitated crosscut

Cross Cut Management: Uncontrolled slurry runoff. Haulage track bed under water, where constant flow was breaking down the track foundation and stopping tramming. — Uncontrolled slurry runoff

Cross Cut Management: Concrete side drain. Newly cast concrete side drain carrying water away from the cleared track bed of an active rail haulage. — Concrete side drain

Cross Cut Management: Concreted track and drain. Concrete footwall poured between and along the rails, with a formed concrete drain along the sidewall. — Concreted track and drain

Cross Cut Management: Concreted rail switch. Rail switch and turnout set in concrete to hold alignment and prevent derailments where they usually start. — Concreted rail switch

Cross Cut Management: Completed crosscut section. Restored passage with clean ballast, a clear drain line and unobstructed travelling clearance. — Completed crosscut section

Cross Cut Management: Haulage cleared. Cleared footwall and aligned track giving locos, hoppers and personnel unobstructed access. — Haulage cleared

Cross Cut Management: Clear track through the crosscut. Track bed loaded out and cleared of mud, ready for safe tramming. — Clear track through the crosscut

Cross Cut Management: Cleared crosscut curve. Curved crosscut section with clean rails and a clear walkway beside the track. — Cleared crosscut curve
