The Sydney Metro project is Australia’s biggest transport project, aiming to build 31 metro railway stations and a 66km standalone metro railway system to deliver a train to the Sydney city centre every two minutes both ways by 2024.
The Sydney Metro project includes sub-projects, which aim to get parts of the new metro line in Sydney operational quickly. One sub-project is the line-wide works on the Northern Connection (AKA Metro City and Southwest), which aims to connect the currently operational Sydney Northwest new metro line with the CBD and beyond into Bankstown.
The Sydney Metro’s line-wide works project was awarded at $1.4 billion to Systems Connect, a partnership between CPB Contractors and UGL Engineering, who are tasked with constructing all the permanent systems, services and infrastructure for the Sydney Metro, including metro rail track, power, communications, signalling systems, and more.
