The consortium CPB Contractors, Ghella and Acciona Construction have secured the EUR 2.20 bn (AUD3.6 bn) Tunnels South contract to build 16km of twin tunnels between Cheltenham and Glen Waverley for Suburban Rail Loop (SRL) East in Melbourne. Tunnelling will start in 2026, and trains will be running by 2035.  

The 4 TBMs for this section will be powered by renewable electricity, and construction and materials emissions will be reduced by 20%. 

The contract will also include 55 safety cross passages between the tunnels, station boxes at Clayton and Monash and the construction of portals – the entrances and exits to the tunnels – at the stabling facility.  

Construction is progressing across the SRL East corridor, with works in Burwood underway to build the TBM launch site.

Zitrón has been appointed by the CBGU Design and Construction Joint Venture (CPB Contractors, Royal BAM Group nv, Ghella, UGL) to design and manufacture the tunnel ventilation axial fans for the Cross River Rail Project (CRR) in Brisbane. The project comprises a new 10.2-km rail line from Dutton Park to Bowen Hills, that includes 5.9 km of twin tunnels under the Brisbane River and CBD.   

The axial fans that will be supplied under the contract will be manufactured and subjected to comprehensive testing at the new production facility currently being built by Zitron Australia in Perth.   

This new state of the art facility will be fully operational by January 2022. It will increase fan production capacity to meet growing demand and will allow for the testing of fans to the highest standards, thereby providing the validation of fan performance parameters demanded by our customers.   

The awarding of the CRR project reinforces Zitrón’s industry leadership and strong commitment to the Australian rail sector. Zitron fans are currently driving the ventilation systems providing a safe operating environment for the workers and users of underground infrastructures in all major Australian cities: Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth.
