Plateway has conducted due diligence on the condition of rail assets for a wide variety of clients including ARTC, Gateway Rail, Freight Australia, Patriot Rail, Rail America, Genesee & Wyoming and Pacific National in Australia, New Zealand and the US for use in obtaining lease financing and financing for acquisitions.  These exercises have included determining:

· Infrastructure, plant and inventory condition;

· Infrastructure asset value;

· Staff and equipment resourcing requirements for asset maintenance and renewals;

· Inventory holding and sourcing strategies;

· Ongoing cost of asset ownership in terms of capital works, renewals and maintenance programs; and

· Remaining asset service life.

 

These exercises are usually documented using our in house database package which includes digital images recording the inspections made.
