The SSTOM (Stations, Systems, Trains, Operations and Maintenance) contract on the 23 km Sydney Metro - Western Sydney Airport project has been awarded to the Parklife Metro consortium, comprising of Plenary Origination Pty Ltd, Webuild SpA, RATP Development SA, Siemens Mobility Pty Ltd, Siemens Mobility GmbH, Siemens Project Ventures GmbH and Siemens Mobility Austria GmbH.   

The contract includes 12 new metro trains, six new stations between St Marys and the new Aerotropolis, core rail systems and the stabling and maintenance facility to be built at Orchard Hills.    

Parklife Metro will also operate and maintain the Sydney Metro - Western Sydney Airport line for 15 years after it becomes operational.   

The awarding of the final contract coincides with another significant project milestone, with Sydney Metro – Western Sydney Airport becoming the first rail infrastructure project in Australian history to commit to being certified carbon-neutral from the start of construction through to operation. All carbon emissions generated during construction and operation will be reduced and offset.   

Plenty of activity is already underway as part of this mega project, including preparations at the future Aerotropolis Station for tunnelling from the airport to the Aerotropolis site, which will commence in 2023. Visit https://www.sydneymetro.info. 50/22.
