The JV will also deliver the following services:
- Full surveillance and design for a stabling and maintenance facility at Orchard Hills.
- Construction of the twin metro tunnels, viaducts and at grade infrastructure.
- Operation and maintenance of the line and its assets.
Constructability Advice
SYSTRA Bamser were engaged by Arup to integrate into the multi-disciplinary technical advisor team and provide constructability advice for Station Boxes and Tunnelling (SBT) scope. Drawing on extensive experience on previous Sydney Metro projects through development and delivery stages, Bamser provided valuable advice to assist in the development of the project Definition Design, supporting the Environmental Impact Statement and Final Business Case. This resulted in the development of a constructible design, robust project requirements, and high-quality Tender Documentation for issue to SBT contractors.
