Sydney Metro West – Eastern Tunnelling Package
Sydney Metro is Australia’s biggest public transport project. Once completed, Sydney Metro West will double rail capacity between greater Paramatta and the Sydney CBD, with travel times of around 20 minutes between the two centres.
2022 | ONGOING
We are involved in the construction of the final section of the Sydney Metro West – Eastern Tunnelling Package (ETP). The ETP works include construction of tunnels under Sydney Harbour, between The Bays and the Sydney Central Business District (CBD), and the excavation of Pyrmont and Hunter Street stations. Sydney Metro West will double the rail capacity between Greater Parramatta and the CBD, with an estimated journey time of around 20 minutes between the two centres. With this project, we are once again excavating a railway crossing under Sydney Harbour, having completed the tunnel and station excavation works for the Sydney Metro City & Southwest project in 2022, where we built the first rail tunnels beneath Sydney Harbour, a testimony to the quality of our work.
