Two groups have been shortlisted to build the tunnels and stations under Sydney Harbour and through the Central Business District (CBD) for Sydney Metro – Australia’s biggest public transport project: the Joint Venture composed by John Holland Pty Ltd, CPB Contractors Pty Ltd and Ghella Pty Ltd; the Joint Venture made up of Ferrovial Agroman (Australia) Pty Ltd, Acciona Infrastructure Australia Pty Ltd and BAM International Australia Pty Ltd.
The NSW Government expects to award the contract to build the tunnels around the middle of next year. The first of five TBMs will be in the ground before the end of 2018 to deliver new twin railway tunnels, stretching 15.5km, from Chatswood to Sydenham and more than 40m below the surface of Sydney Harbour. Sydney Metro & Southwest is expected to open by 2024. Click au/11 for tunnelbuilder archive.
