Austrak (NT) PTY Ltd
Promo and three technical training films

Currently in production

Austrak is Australia's most advanced railway sleeper manufacturing company.

Its largest project to date has been the supply of nearly two million standard gauge sleepers for the 1420 km, Aus $1.3 billion Alice Springs to Darwin Railway.

Undertaken in the extreme environments of Australia's central desert and its tropical north, at peak production in 2002, the two factories produced 2400 sleepers per day. A total of 214,000 cubic metres of concrete and 86,000 km of pre-stressing wire were used in this, the largest civil engineering project in Australia's history.

This production filmed at Austrak's purpose built Katherine Sleeper Factory in 2003, and is currently in post-production. The end product will be a DVD containing a corporate promo for the company (aimed at general industry/stakeholder audiences) plus three technical films detailing the processes used in Austrak's unique sleeper construction process. These films are specifically targeted at potential global clients and as a training and induction material for Austrak staff overseas.
