Sydney Metro City and Southwest – Central Station

Client: TfNSW – Sydney Metro Delivery Office
Location: Sydney CBD
Roles: (various - see below)
Budget: $950M

Sydney Metro City and Southwest (Sydney Metro) will deliver 30 kms of metro rail between Chatswood and Bankstown, including a new crossing beneath Sydney Harbour, new railway stations in the lower North Shore and CBD, and the upgrade and conversion of the current line between Sydenham and Bankstown Stations.

Central Station, one of the most important elements of the Sydney Metro, is a highly complex brownfield project situated in an operational live environment. The project involves multi modal transport integration with Suburban and InterCity rail services, bus, coach and light rail, providing a transport hub which additionally accommodates and supports major special events.

In its first phase on the project, InfraSol provided project development services to Sydney Metro to define the scope of works, develop the construction methodology, assess the operational and customer impacts, program, cost and delivery strategy for the development of the business case. They also played a key role in engaging with Sydney Trains and NSW Trains to assess and mitigate the customer and operational impacts of the proposed works.

InfraSol then continued involvement on the project through the provision of Project Management services for the early works and transaction phase through to contract award and commencement of delivery. This role included managing Transport Operator interfaces and developing a Construction Access Strategy to protect transport operations and customer service.
