What we do

MW Engineers has added an equipment focussed company to compliment the division.

MWE Rail Pty Ltd will consolidate and expand the existing equipment catalogue, whilst also spearheading new technology solutions.

This allows our highly skilled and experienced team to deliver a comprehensive range of services and equipment to the rail and other sectors.

• Design: certified designers with rail competencies, give us a range of high-quality services in this area.

• Engineering: research & development, custom solutions, obsolescence remediation, control systems, software production and testing.

• Project and on-site capabilities; one of the most experienced and skilled teams in the rail sector, project management with a high focus on health and safety, design correlation, installation, testing and commissioning, emergency works, civil works. The right skills and plant resources for any rail project. Our flexible team can react and adapt competently, in cases of unforeseen circumstances, changes or expansions of scope.

• Consulting: we can deliver a complete service, from assisting clients to successfully secure a tender, through complete project management and successful delivery, including procurement costs, stage budgeting and milestone planning. Every aspect can be professionally delivered in either a support role or complete management package.

• Renewable Power:

  Solar

  • MWE Rail in partnership with Rail Solutions Pty Ltd have designed and developed Sentinel, a complete solar power arrangement.

  • There is currently a desperate need for a reliable, viable solar power supply solution for critical applications in remote locations, where mains power is not an option.

  • The arrangement, is input/output versatile, modular, scalable, includes N+1 redundancy, monitoring and security cameras. The equipment, including the new generation smart Lithium batteries, fits into 19" racks. Added to hyper efficient panels, this significantly reduces the footprint compared to other available solutions. Decades of combined experience and knowledge have contributed to the robust and efficient design, making it the prefect solution for the rail sector.

  • With minor changes, the system can also be used UPS back up for mains power.

  • ARTC are in the process of type approving the arrangement and MWE Rail/Rail Solutions can prepare and submit type approval submissions for other networks as required.

  • See Sentinel Solar Power System on Projects page

  Wind

  • MWE Rail design and build wind power stand-alone solutions for every application.

  • Wind turbine power can also be incorporated within the Sentinel solar power arrangement, to provide a completely self-sufficient hybrid system.

  Hydrogen

  • MWE Rail are collaborating with established leaders in this technology, to develop hydrogen fuelled generators suitable for the rail, mining and farming sectors.

• Asset Condition Monitoring & Management

  MWE Rail has partnered with a world leading facility, to add high-tech asset monitoring and proactive management capability. Infrastructure assets are often neglected, until either catastrophe occurs, or major repairs are required. Our ability to utilising drones, equipped with cutting edge scanning technology, enables life cycle assessments and monitoring of critical assets, such as bridges. The asset is scanned and mapped to a minute level, utilising AI technology similar to facial recognition methodology. Thereafter, normally imperceptible changes can be recognised and proactive measures taken as required.

  The process is comprehensive and will provide a full condition report on the entire structure, including any underwater elements.

  Real time monitoring from a central hub or periodic reporting are just two of the analysis options. Please enquire about this service.

• Fibre Optics

  A full suite of design and installation services for any application, including communication, monitoring and security.

• Security and surveillance: we provide system design, installation, testing and commissioning services with licensed Class A electricians and Rail-Card holders.

• Manufacturing: we design, develop, type approve and manufacture and wide range of signalling, power and testing equipment. Level crossing boxes, test strap-kits, switch boxes and control systems are just a few examples. We also replace, refit or upgrade location cases, onsite if required ll, maintain and remediate rail signalling systems onsite.

Safety is our focus.

Among the key elements of success in the way work is a safety culture that ensures the protection of each project's most important assets: its staff.

We manage health and safety with the right ingredients: oversight from experienced people; ongoing training and assessment of all staff; rigorous processes that are measured for every project.

Our successful compliance and certifications in the following areas proves our processes are as good as we say they are:

• Quality Management Systems: AS/NZS ISO9001:2008

• Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems: OHSAS 18001:2007

• Environmental Management Systems: AS/NZS ISO14001:2004
