In house resources

One of the key factors driving our success is the extensive investment we make in developing our resources.

 

Plant resources

We own, operate and maintain all of our plant, which allows us to ensure reliability, availability and the highest standards of work. Our plant hire fleet includes a selection of specialist road rail vehicles and rail bugs, road rail heavy lifters, tracked excavators, wheeled excavators, a unimog with 140 tonne towing capability and laser dozers, as well as small plant, tools and equipment necessary to complete any project.

Management

We directly employ a team of Project Managers, Engineers and Site Managers. The team has significant experience in the delivery of rail infrastructure projects including structures, earthworks and permanent way.

 

Staff resources

We directly employ over 300 PTS qualified and experienced staff and our commitment to ongoing training sets us apart from most other rail contractors. We continually strive to ensure that our workforce hold a comprehensive range of competencies and impressively high skill levels.

 

Training

Story Rail is an approved Track Safety Training and Assessment Provider and we are members of the Association of Rail Training Providers (ARTP). This allows us to carry out all of our internal training and assessments for On-track personnel (up to PICOP level) and road rail operators. Additionally we have an excellent resource in our purpose built rail test track at Head Office that is used for all training and assessments and which simulates realistic site conditions.

We have the added advantage of central office retaining all training records, which can be easily accessed and provided to clients. We have a low rate of staff turn-over with around 75% of staff being with us for over 10 years.
