Roborigger

Another Exciting Milestone! 🚂 120 new Q-Series wagons delivered! Last week, we successfully completed the delivery of 120 new Q-Series wagons. This project was particularly special as it allowed us to implement some innovative safety initiatives: Eliminating Last Car Rollaways: Recognizing the potential risks associated with end-of-train car rollaways, we redesigned the end-of-train wagon to incorporate a dual automatic tension spring park brake (TSPB). This innovative feature automatically engages when the air supply is depleted or disconnected, effectively eliminating the risk of a runaway car in the event of a drawbar failure. First introduced a couple of years ago as a single TSPB design on our standard wagons, the TSPB is proving to be a vital safety enhancement and looks to be a permanent fixture moving forward. Robo-Rigger Unloading: In partnership with Qube, we trialled their new "Robo-Rigger" during the ship unloading process. This remotely operated device significantly enhances safety by removing the need for stevedores to manually handle tag lines on the ship's deck. The results were outstanding, paving the way for wider adoption of this technology for future wagon and cargo deliveries. We're incredibly proud of the collaborative effort that made this delivery possible and are committed to pushing the boundaries of safety and efficiency in rail freight. #railfreight #safetyfirst #innovation #collaboration #stevedoring #rollingstock

💡 Sharing innovation and safety excellence with industry leaders Our Hong Kong team at the North District Hospital (NDH) Expansion project 🏣 hosted a visit from the Construction Industry Council Chairman Ir Prof. Thomas Ho and senior leadership team, and other industry leaders, providing us an opportunity to showcase the project’s key achievements in safety, leadership, and innovation. ✅ A key highlight of the visit was the demonstration of Roborigger, an advanced lifting safety technology implemented at the NDH Expansion project for remote-controlled lifts, significantly enhancing safety on site. At Leighton Asia, we are committed to delivering high-quality, innovative projects that not only meet but exceed industry standards. We continue to reinforce our One HSE Culture and build a safer, more efficient future for the construction industry 🏗️. The NDH Expansion project, delivered in partnership with CRFG, includes a 20-storey new acute block and will significantly enhance healthcare facilities to better serve the local community. #LeightonAsia #Innovation #SafetyFirst #OneHSECulture #NDHExpanison #HongKong

We’re keeping it cool at NEXTDC S3 Sydney, having successfully landed all 54 cooling towers! ❄️🧊 26 of the towers are now fully operational, with the remaining units currently in the commissioning phase. Cooling towers are vital for data centres, helping to regulate temperature by removing excess heat, ensuring servers and equipment run efficiently and reliably. The installation process was carefully planned through several design and safety workshops. The cooling towers were delivered in three pieces, assembled in a designated area, then lifted and placed onto the mechanical skids for final plumbing and wiring. This milestone showcased another great use of Roborigger, which enabled the team to rig and lift the cooling towers safely and precisely onto the steel platform. A true testament to teamwork, efficiency, and outperformance in action. #builttooutperform A.G. Coombs

Our Western Ridge Crusher team has performed their first lift using the Roborigger – a load controlling system that allows the orientation of the load to be independent, providing greater flexibility and provide tailormade lifting configurations. The use of the Roborigger was an innovation devised by the team which removes personnel from suspended loads, reduces multiple crane movements, and provides accurate load control during lifting operations at height replacing the use of tug lines. The team has used two Roborigger system the ARM1500 and the AF12 so far and will perform the next lifts introducing other innovations designed by Roborigger to release the rigging and reducing working at height risks, and the Synchoist System that allows trim of the load and eliminates chain blocks in the rigging arrangement. The Roborigger will have a big role to play on the project as it builds the crusher system.

CIMIC Group, as part of the Global Grupo ACS network, recently participated in Turner Construction Company’s 2024 Innovation Summit. Claudelle Taylor, ICT General Manager, Innovation Integration, CIMIC and Chief Technology Officer at IDD Tech, presented at the event, outlining CIMIC’s approach to innovation and IDD Tech’s commercial product suite. CIMIC Group’s capabilities were featured in two videos. These showcased CPB Contractors, UGL and Pacific Partnerships' successful delivery of a range of Sydney Metro projects, and Leighton Asia's innovative use of Roborigger, Underwater Drones and the Robotic Life Saver on the Boardwalk Underneath Island Eastern Corridor project in Hong Kong.

Introducing Roborigger, a key extension of our NEXTDC S3 Sydney team, helping with our heaviest lifts to keep progress rolling smoothly – a real MVP if you ask us! With Roborigger’s assistance, the site team is installing additional generators (weighing 31 tonnes each, including the lifting platform), 43 cooling towers, 41 prefabricated cooling tower pump skids, and radiators for the new data centre. When it comes to safety, we are strategically focused on removing critical risks, and this innovative automated lifting device significantly improves worksite safety by allowing riggers and dogmen to control loads wirelessly from a safe distance. The attachment also increases the operating window for lifting operations involving loads with large surface areas that are affected by wind. Multiplex was the first contractor to use Roborigger in 2019 and was instrumental in its early research and development. #builttooutperform TENSA Equipment

Throwback Thursday to the installation of CLT slabs at Tonsley Technical College and Factory of the Future, where Load 28 Crane Hire|Construction|Access joined us for a trial run of the advanced ROBORIGGER AR15 load-control system. This cutting-edge technology aligns with the project ethos, demonstrating a safer, more efficient approach to rigging by preventing lifted loads from spinning or colliding with structures. We’re proud to support progressive technology that drives safety and reflects our commitment to innovative, solution-focused projects. #factoryofthefuture #research #advancedmanufacturing #TechnicalColleges #GuaranteedCareer #BuildingGreatRelationships #SolutionFocused #Innovation #Deliveringmeaningfulinfrastructure #Load28
