PRIMARY INDUSTRY

Light Rail

We work with transport systems to provide reliable and high-quality light rail solutions, including specialised welding of crossings and turnouts, and fabrication of custom components and infrastructure.

SPECIALISED WELDING

The team at J C Smale employs aluminothermic welding in the manufacture of various crossings, turnouts and transitions for both standard and custom infrastructure produced in a shop environment. Other methodologies can be used for hardfacing or rebuilding of new and worn components where required to improve and replicate hardened wearing conditions.

CROSSINGS & TURNOUTS

Local manufacturing of H-crossings, X-crossings and switches removes the complications of shipping from overseas and enables the provision of larger assemblies direct to site.

CUSTOM COMPONENTS & INFRASTRACTURE

J C Smale offers additional engineering solutions supporting the light rail industry. These include interlocking fabricated crossings and transitions, precision-machined zinc-plated switch gear and customised groove rail grinders, as well as fabricated drain boxes and lockers.

FEATURED PROJECT

Yarra Trams

Producing light rail infrastructure utilising rail steel, thermit welding and hardfacing technology – just one example of crossing and transition manufacture by J C Smale.
