As lead designer in the Rail Infrastructure Alliance alongside equal construction partners CPB Contractors and John Holland, AECOM will provide the full range of design services for all elements of the project, including tunnel entrances, brownfield rail network enhancements and station improvements.<\/p>\n
AECOM expects to mobilise over 150 full-time positions on the project, while some 500 of the infrastructure company\u2019s 3500-strong Australia New Zealand team will, at some point, contribute to the project\u2019s successful delivery over the duration of the contract.<\/p>\n
Leveraging AECOM\u2019s global expertise in tunnel portal design, specialists from AECOM\u2019s Hong Kong team have been integral to securing AECOM\u2019s role on the project.<\/p>\n
Local rail capability and brownfield rail expertise were also key differentiators in AECOM\u2019s offer.<\/p>\n
AECOM Chief Executive \u2013 Australia New Zealand, Todd Battley, said the Metro Tunnel was a transformational infrastructure project that prioritised the mobility of Victorians.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith Melbourne leading Australia\u2019s cities in terms of population growth, the Metro Tunnel Project is critical to keeping the city moving, and Victoria growing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re proud to continue our work on infrastructure projects that build cities, and connect communities.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Victorian Government has demonstrated great vision to deliver the Metro Tunnel \u2013 Victoria\u2019s largest ever public transport project \u2013 and we can\u2019t wait to get started with our partners.\u201d<\/p>\n
