Caulfield to Dandenong (CTD) - Inner

Working through Melbourne’s busiest rail sections

The inner CTD area runs from Caulfield through Southern Cross and into the Melbourne Underground Rail Loop. It includes high-density junctions, multiple interlockings, and overlapping work fronts.

On projects like this, paper records and disconnected spreadsheets quickly become a risk. Teams needed one place to track field capture, assigned tasks, and handover status.

Trax was used as that shared system.

It supported three core parts of delivery:

• Field asset capture for existing and new infrastructure
• Event-based task assignment across teams
• Structured QA closeout as each interlocking finished

The practical benefit was coordination. Supervisors could see what was done, what was pending, and where follow-up was needed without waiting for end-of-shift paperwork.

By the time closeout arrived, data was already organized. Handover was an export, not a scramble.
