Real-time railway track monitoring with patented Cyclops technology, protecting live rail operations during construction of Sydney’s 9 km twin tunnels
About WestConnex New M5 Tunnel
The New M5 tunnel is Stage 2 of WestConnex, Australia’s largest integrated transport and urban revitalisation project and is being delivered by Sydney Motorway Corporation (SMC) on behalf of the NSW Government. The New M5 will run via 9km of twin tunnels from Kingsgrove to a new interchange at St Peters, more than doubling the corridor capacity and substantially improving east‐west corridor access between the Sydney CBD, Port Botany and Sydney Airport precincts and the south-west growth areas.
What we’ve delivered
Sixense has designed and installed a system to monitor track deformations in real-time during adjacent tunnel construction works. Our patented Cyclops system is measuring track-parameters, such as top, line, cant and twist with millimetric precision, and sending real-time alarms to stakeholders when set thresholds are exceeded. All monitoring data is accessible in real-time in Geoscope, for data analysis, alarming and reporting.
