The Capital Metro Light Rail project involves creating a 12 kilometre light rail line in Canberra city’s north. The company provided planning and environment services, which included preparing the largest, most complex Environment Impact Statement in the history of the territory.
The NSRU project was part of the Northern Sydney Freight Corridor Program, a joint Australian and NSW Government initiative to improve capacity and reliability of freight trains between Strathfield and Newcastle. The 148 metre rail underpass allows freight trains to cross under the busy Main North Line without impacting faster passenger services. The team developed an innovative design – a shallow-cover, driven tunnel – allowing the project to be completed five months ahead of schedule.
The Canberra awards will be announced on 23 September while the Sydney event takes place on 7 October.
