A joint venture of 4983 Parsons Brinckerhoff and 3525 AECOM has been selected by Western Australia’s Department of Transport (DoT) to form an integrated services team for the next phase of the 22 km Metro Area Express (MAX) light rail network.
The JV is working with the DoT to develop a robust business case for the US$1.8 billion project that will change the face of Perth’s transport network.
MAX project director for the DoT, David Thomas, said the project will introduce a new era of public transport to Perth. “MAX will support the city’s transformation by providing a frequent, high-capacity service in the inner-north and central west and eastern suburbs of Perth.”
Parsons Brinckerhoff was the lead consultant on the previous project stage, successfully delivering all aspects of the concept design for the east-west alignment as well as managing a team of sub-consultants.
Parsons Brinckerhoff regional director for Western Australia Paul Reed said, “Parsons Brinckerhoff and Aecom are working in close collaboration with the DoT to deliver a strong business case for the MAX project,”
Aecom has previously provided stakeholder and community engagement services for the MAX project, as well as bus rapid transit options for the DoT.
Construction scheduled to commence in 2016, with the first stages of the network due to be operational by the end of 2019.
