End of Curve 16

We ended up outperforming our expectations this week, with 128 concretes installed in total this week.

Today saw an additional 40 sleepers added to the sights – which took us to the end of Curve 16.

The spot pictured here marks the half way point between Pipeline Crossing and Donkey Farm Track – seems like we’ve been going forever to get here, however now that Donkey Farm Track is well within sight, it doesn’t seem anywhere near as daunting.

The usual jacking and packing parade followed the insertions, and it’s nowhere near perfect. However, it is significantly better than it was before we started this work.

It’s just here to Muckleford to go now… at least Donkey Farm Track for this year and at the rate were going it’s extremely achievable.

Next week might be a bit less resleepering and a bit more preparation as we’ve pretty much used up the ready sleepers. All gangs next week (Monday to Thursday) meeting Maldon at 8am or out on site – probably best to come in via Donkey Farm Track now from about 8.30am.
