Rail and Port
Rail and Port infrastructure in Africa remains critical to unlocking the continent’s economic potential. The high number of land-locked countries in Africa and small sized economies necessitates development of high-capacity efficient railway networks and ports.
We have been involved in various rail and port infrastructure projects for both private clients as well as government authorities over the years. Many of our mining projects also require upgrading or designing of new rail and port infrastructure as part of the new development or expansion.
Rail and Port Services include but are not limited to:
- GEOMETRIC ALIGNMENT – 3D Modeling.
- FORMATION DESIGN – Layerworks design.
- STORMWATER DRAINAGE – Floodline analysis; Run-off calculations.
- RAIL OPERATIONS & ROLLING STOCK – Modeling and simulations.
- GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATIONS – Soil testing; Profiling & core logging; foundation conditions.
- STRUCTURAL DESIGN – Rail and port buildings; Port structures; Railway bridges and major culverts.
Featured Rail and Port Projects Showcase

Transnet Railway Lines, Mpumalanga
Project:
Geotechnical Investigation
The purpose of the geotechnical investigations was to determine the soil properties for the design of proposed railway loops, as well as the extension of existing railway lines for Transnet’s Phalaborwa and Komatipoort railway lines.

Bel-Air Bauxite Mine, Guinea
Project:
Mine Development: Prefeasibility Study
Alufer Mining commissioned a prefeasibility study for a new bauxite mine in the central-western region of Guinea. The ore product was to be mined on mineralised plateaus across the project area, which is located close to the coastal town of Bel-Air, before being transported from a new harbour facility for export (to be designed and constructed as part of the mine development project).
