Intermodal TransportConsideration of the full logistics chain from shipper to consignee and an understanding of the benefits and limitations of each transport mode underpin integrated and effective intermodal freight solutions.

WorleyParsons has capabilities covering all aspects of the freight transportation industrysectorincludingrail,roadandmaritime.Understandingthebenefitsand limitations of the modes allows us to adopt the broadest view of the entire logistics chain without undue bias towards one mode or another. The resulting solutions have reduced transit times, resolved interfacing issues and produced cost effectiveness.

We have worked on behalf of shipping lines, port authorities, government transport ministries, rail entities, and global container logistics specialists. The services we have performed include: analysis and optimisation of intermodal business performance; design of intermodal wagons for both single and double stacked containers; planning of rail corridors for intermodal trains; strategic planning for inland container terminals; management consulting on container handling logistics; and operational analysis of container handling processes in terminals.

Opportunities for Greenfield rail infrastructure developments are limited by project economies. As a result, most of our intermodal customers are seeking ways to innovate within the constraints of existing infrastructure. Our team develops innovative solutions to enable intermodal transport to operate over existing infrastructure. We design wagons that have improved load distribution for lighter track, lower profile for reduced track clearances and enhanced braking systems for passenger routes.

Where modifications to infrastructure are unavoidable, our teams address the challenges of increasing tunnel sizes, strengthening bridges and increasing track clearances.

Our capability also includes terminal simulation and planning for seamless transitions between transport modes, especially in freight container terminals. We have been able to demonstrate that efficiency in terminals produces time savings throughout the intermodal logistics chain.

Project: Electrical System Capacity of the Suburban Network Customer: MainCo Phases:

Aspartofitspreparationsforthe2006CommonwealthGames,MainCoengagedWorleyParsons to assess the electrical capacity of the Melbourne suburban train network. During the Games, the intent was to operate an enhanced timetable which effectively expanded the peak hour timetables for this period. The electrical load generated by such a timetable potentially placed parts of the electrical system under stress. WorleyParsons was engaged to undertake this assessment. The system components in the assessment included supply elements as well as traction power distribution and traction power delivery.

WorleyParsons provides our customers with valuable strategic decision making support by quantifying project sustainability in monetary terms.

EcoNomics™ enables our customers to properly consider the social, environmental and ecological economic and financial impacts of existing and planned rail projects. The key to short term deliverability and long term success for both public and private sector projects is increasingly dependent on ensuring these issues are considered in the early phases of a project and embedded into the subsequent delivery phases of the project.

We work closely with our customers in framing workshops to agree on the key project objective, identify project options, and determine the financial and external assets to be assessed and risks to be evaluated. This early interaction with the widest possible range of stakeholders provides a clear focus for the assessment and assists in building relationships. This is particularly important for rail developments because of the number of stakeholders that may be involved.

WorleyParsonsDELTΔtoolhastheabilitytoconsideranycombinationoffinancial, environmental and social issues for project analysis on a range of possible future conditions and relate them to the customer in the single universal metric of money in discounted cash flow analysis. Quantifying these different elements is made possible by using the latest available economic studies, literature and research, along with current market costs, to value externalities. All external values are taken from reputable organisations such as theUN,WorldBankandothergovernmentandindustrybodiesworldwide.

We use likely ranges of values for external assets which allow uncertainties to be harnessed, providing better decision making, risk mitigation and a more robust project outcome. Evaluating project options in this way assists our customers to optimize their environmental and social spending to avoid unnecessary expenditure driven by outside parties.
