Western Australia’s railways range from Perth’s suburban network to some of the heaviest-haul lines in the world. We make rail gauges in our Newcastle, NSW workshop for rail projects and maintenance teams in Perth and across WA, set to the track and rail section they will be used on.
Gauges for Western Australian track
- Narrow gauge (1067 mm): Transperth’s suburban network and parts of the regional freight network
- Standard gauge (1435 mm): the interstate line and the Pilbara iron ore railways
- Custom settings: dual gauge sections, mine sites, ports and industrial sidings
Which gauge for which job
| Job | Gauge |
|---|---|
| Laying new track, resleepering or tamping | Track gauge set to your track width |
| Inspecting turnouts and level crossings | Flangeway and check gauges |
| Monitoring wear on heavy-haul rail | Rail profile gauge for your rail section |
| Non-standard rail at mines, ports and sidings | Custom gauge designed to your section |
Heavy axle loads wear railheads quickly, so profile checks matter more on WA’s iron ore lines than on most networks. If your rail section or check is unusual, we design and machine a gauge to suit it.
Built for remote sites
Our gauges are machined from high-grade, corrosion-resistant materials to hold their accuracy in heat, dust and rough handling, and each can be supplied with a traceable calibration certificate. See our gauges page for the full range.
