Fencing built for the rail corridor
Working next to a live rail line is not general fencing with extra paperwork. It is a controlled environment with its own inductions, its own safety rules and its own timing, and the crew has to be qualified before they set foot in the corridor.
All of our staff are trained and ticketed to work on the railways. That is the difference between us and a general fencing contractor for this kind of job. We do not have to sub the corridor work out or wait to get people qualified; the crew that quotes the job is the crew that is cleared to build it.
Why procurement teams use us for rail work
- Ticketed crews, not just a ticketed supervisor. The people on the tools hold the rail qualifications, so the whole team can work inside the corridor.
- Induction-ready. We come to your project inductions prepared and we work to your site rules, not around them.
- SWMS-driven. Safe Work Method Statements are prepared for the specific task and kept current for the site. Our OH and S processes are site-specific, not a generic document filed once and forgotten.
- Short-notice mobilisation. Rail work runs to possessions and access windows. When the window opens, the crew needs to be there. We can be on site at short notice to suit the access you have been given.
- We fabricate our own steel. Posts, gates, brackets and infill come out of our own Toronto workshop, so a corridor job is not held up waiting on a supplier.
What we install in corridors
Chainwire is the workhorse of corridor fencing, and it is what we are known for. A typical corridor job is a long run of tall chainwire on steel posts, delineating the rail boundary and keeping people and stock off the tracks. We also build steel security fencing, gates and access panels where the boundary needs more than mesh.
Proven on the corridor
We have run long chainwire boundaries along live rail corridors. One recent job was 1,265 metres of 1800 mm chainwire along a rail corridor, and the feedback from site was straightforward:
"I was out on site this morning and wanted to let you know the fence looks good. Thank you for doing a good job. Please let the boys know."

That is the kind of job we are built for: long, exposed, safety-critical, run to a schedule, and finished to a standard the client is happy to sign off.
Working with us
We have been fencing across Newcastle, Lake Macquarie and the Hunter since 2004, and rail corridor work sits at the centre of what our crews are trained for. We are set up for the compliance a rail project expects: inductions, SWMS, and qualified people who can work inside the corridor.
Send us the corridor location, the length and height of the boundary, and your access and induction requirements, and we will quote it.
