CPB Contractors preferred for $1 billion Metro Tunnel works
30 July 2018
CPB Contractors: CPB
Contractors, as part of the
Rail Infrastructure Alliance (RIA), has been named as the
Victorian
Government’s preferred proponent to deliver a $1 billion package of
works in support of the $11 billion
Metro Tunnel Project.
CPB Contractors and
John Holland are equal construction partners in the
RIA, with
AECOM as the design partner. The RIA also comprises project
owner Rail Projects
Victoria (formerly the
Melbourne Metro Rail Authority) and operational franchisee
Metro
Trains Melbourne.
Revenue to CPB Contractors for the
design and construct contract will be
confirmed at contractual close, expected in the coming months.
Construction is expected to commence in late 2018 and be completed in
2025.
This is the second package of Metro Tunnel works to be delivered by CPB
Contractors, following the award of a $1 billion design and construct
contract as part of the Rail Systems Alliance (RSA) in December 2017.
CIMIC Group Chief Executive Officer Michael Wright said: “Investment in
major
rail infrastructure in Victoria is providing
CIMIC Group and CPB
Contractors with a strong pipeline of opportunities, and it is our
privilege to be delivering these significant works to support this
city-shaping public transport initiative.
“CIMIC’s in-house engineering consultancy, EIC Activities, is also
playing a key role in assessing all geotechnical and civil structure
designs and challenges, to offer quality, cost-effective construction
methodologies and solutions for the Alliance.”
CPB Contractors Managing Director Juan Santamaria said: “Our strong
construction presence in Victoria allows us to offer innovative and
agile workforce solutions to support the Metro Tunnel Project.
“Our engineering and technical teams already working to complete a
number of the State’s major projects will seamlessly transition to the
Metro Tunnel – bringing their local knowledge and international
experience to ensure all client and community expectations are
realised.”
This fourth major works package for the Metro Tunnel Project covers the
existing Sunbury rail line between the western tunnel entrance in
Kensington and Tottenham, and the Dandenong rail line between the
eastern tunnel entrance in South Yarra and Caulfield Station.
Major works for the Alliance include the design and construction of
entrance structures that will interface with Metro Tunnel works at South
Yarra and Kensington.
