Sydney Metro Northwest

The Sydney Metro Northwest project will be the first fully-automated metro rail system in Australia and will deliver eight new railway stations, 4,000 commuter car parks and a new high frequency single deck train system to Sydney’s growing North West – a region with the highest car ownership levels per household in Australia. Trains will operate every four minutes in the peak with at least 15 trains per hour.

This $1.15 billion Tunnel and Station Civil Works contract will see the construction of twin 15 kilometer tunnels between Bella Vista and Epping. These twin tunnels will be the longest rail tunnels ever built in Australia. Construction of the tunnel component required four custom-made, double-shielded, hard-rock Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs). The NRT Consortium will also provide the detailed design, construction and handover of the running tunnels, cross passages, nozzle enlargements and connections, as well as excavation and civil works to deliver five new stations and two service facilities.

WT Partnership has been brought on to provide Infrastructure Cost Engineering and Cost Consulting services to Transport for New South Wales.
