It is part of the TrackStar Alliance, whose work is on the Richlands-to-Springfield section of the Darra-to-Springfield Rail programme covers six miles of dual track and two stations, including 100- and 200-space park-and-ride facilities. The project has a construction value of US$488 million.
“Aecom is very excited to play a key role in this important transportation project,” said Aecom president and chief executive officer John M Dionisio. “The new rail line will help reduce congestion and ease the commutes of travelers on Centenary Highway.”
Aecom will be providing civil and structural design of all road and rail infrastructure on the project, including alignments, drainage, pavements, utilities, bridges, station buildings and associated urban and landscape design.
The project, for Queensland Rail, includes construction of a city-bound lane on the Centenary Highway. A dedicated pedestrian and cycle path will also be built between Richlands and Springfield as part of the project.
TrackStar Alliance was created in June 2006 and has been delivering a series of projects for Queensland Rail in South East Queensland. This is the fourth major project for the TrackStar Alliance, which has previously won the Corinda-to-Darra, Caboolture-to-Beerburrum and Robina-to-Varsity Lakes rail projects.
