CIMIC Group companies finalise $900M Cross River Rail RIS contract
09 September 2019
CIMIC
Group companies
CPB Contractors and
UGL, along with their Unity Alliance
partners, have reached contract award with the
Queensland Government to
deliver the
Rail, Integration and Systems (RIS) package of the
Cross
River Rail project.
The RIS package will deliver revenue of approximately $900 million to
the CIMIC Group.
The award of the RIS Alliance contract follows contractual close for the
Tunnel,
Stations and Development
PPP package of the project, to be
delivered by CIMIC Group companies
Pacific Partnerships, CPB Contractors
and UGL, as part of the Pulse consortium. Revenue to the CIMIC Group
from the PPP package is approximately $2.73 billion.
CIMIC Group Chief Executive Officer Michael Wright said: “CIMIC Group
continues to provide essential infrastructure for the cities and local
communities in which we live, providing important new services and
helping to drive economic development.
“We’re proud to be playing a leading role in two key packages of
Queensland’s largest
public transport project."
CPB Contractors Managing Director Juan Santamaria said: “The Cross River
Rail project reinforces CPB Contractors’ leading position in the
delivery of rail and tunnel infrastructure, complementing our work on
major projects in
NSW and
Victoria.
“We look forward to working closely with the Cross River Rail Delivery
Authority and
Queensland Rail to deliver the RIS package safely and
efficiently.”
UGL Managing Director Jason Spears said: “UGL is Australia’s leading
provider of mechanical, electrical and rail services. We look forward to
delivering a fully integrated solution alongside our Alliance partners
which will provide benefits across
Brisbane and South-East Queensland.”
CPB Contractors and UGL were supported by CIMIC Group’s engineering and
technical services business, EIC Activities, in planning and
digital
engineering.
Crucial to the overall delivery of the Cross River Rail project, the RIS
package will deliver the design, supply and installation of the
supporting rail systems and brownfield works to integrate Cross River
Rail into the wider Queensland Rail train network.
The package includes an upgrade of the existing Exhibition Station,
augmentation of Mayne Yard and rail operational systems, signalling and
telecommunications work across the Cross River Rail Project.
Early works on the Cross River Rail project have begun and major
construction is due to be completed in 2024.
Members of the Unity Alliance working with Cross River Rail Delivery
Authority and Queensland Rail to deliver the RIS package include CPB
Contractors, UGL,
AECOM and
Jacobs.
