Railway Crossing Designs

Horizontal Directional Drilling Railway Crossing

Benefits
Collaboration with utility owners and installation contractors ensures a seamless and effective design process, expediting rail authority approvals. Engineering analysis can be used to demonstrate that carrier pipe grouting or sleeves may not be required to maintain rail infrastructure integrity.
Background
Atteris has undertaken detailed design of HDD rail crossings for pipelines and telecommunication cables for decades, all over Australia. A thorough understanding of pipeline design and construction, coupled with HDD knowledge and experience, leads to the optimum solution for utility and rail owners.
Work Performed by Atteris

Atteris provides comprehensive documentation in the form of detailed design reports and engineering drawings. The reports include subsurface conditions, groundwater conditions, location details, equipment to be utilised, maximum allowable drilling fluid pressures, and annulus grouting requirements. Potential risks associated with the HDD railway crossing are identified and proposed management measures outlined.
Steel and HDPE HDD railway crossing designs have been delivered that comply with:

  • AS 4799 Installation of underground utility services and pipelines within railway boundaries
  • Public Transport Authority (WA)
  • VicTrack
  • ARC Infrastructure
  • AS 2566 Buried Flexible Pipelines
  • AS 2885 High Pressure Pipeline Systems
  • ASTM F1962 Standard Guide for Use of Maxi-Horizontal Directional Drilling for Placement of Polyethylene Pipe or Conduit Under Obstacles, Including River Crossings.
  • PR-277-144507-Z01 Installation of Pipelines by Horizontal Directional Drilling.
