Veris was engaged to provide surveying services for the Sydenham Metro Upgrade project, a $301 million investment that involves significant upgrades to the existing rail track and Sydenham Station as part of the conversion of the T3 Bankstown line to Sydney Metro standards. Working closely with principal contractors John Holland and Laing O’Rourke, along with the client Sydney Metro, Veris recommended the use of wireless monitoring technology during a stage of the project that involved under-bore tunnelling to run utility cables under the rail track.
Survey Manager for the project, Filipe Guerreiro, said the system came recommended internally by Veris’ National Monitoring Manager. “My colleague confirmed they had successfully deployed the technology on other projects in Queensland and Victoria, so I contacted the local team at Position Partners to find out more,” he said. Although traditional total-station based monitoring was already in place on the project, Mr Guerreiro explained that the client required 24-hour live reporting that couldn’t be delivered easily with the traditional setup. “We were under tight time constraints to deliver a solution, so we needed something that was fast and easy to deploy,” he said. “With the wireless system we were able to quickly install multiple sensors to measure lateral movements, as well as short and long twist, over 28 metres of rail track,” he said.
