Case Study: Vibropile achieves faster, more cost-effective rail bypass piling with InfraBuild prefabricated steel cages

Vibropile speeds rail bypass piling with InfraBuild’s 320 prefabricated cages

Vibropile was commissioned to construct the bridges for the Wodonga Rail Bypass, a project that utilized the Continuous Flight Auger (CFA) piling technique for the first time on a Victorian infrastructure project. Their challenge was to fabricate complex, high-tolerance pile cages with N40 500PLUS® rebar that had to meet precise specifications for coupling into crossheads, demanding a performance level exceeding the Australian standard.

InfraBuild prefabricated 320 pile cages totaling 850 tonnes for Vibropile. By running 24-hour shifts and conducting rigorous quality control, InfraBuild ensured a constant supply chain that kept the project ahead of schedule. This solution rapidly sped up the works, offering Vibropile substantial time and cost savings while simplifying site management and eliminating the need for some follow-on trades.
