Portarlington Station

Glenfort Timber Engineering contributed to the restoration of Portarlington Railway Station.
We designed and manufactured 7 large Douglas Fir trusses, each spanning over 8 metres, including structural purlins and hip beams.
The trusses were reinforced with traditional steel straps to replicate the detailing of the original trusses being replaced, conserving the station’s history while ensuring modern structural stability.
Proud to have worked with Vision Contracting on the restoration of this historic building — a rewarding project with a company that values craftsmanship and heritage.
