SEMINAR ABSTRACT Sydney’s new world-class metro system is Australia’s biggest public transport project
and the largest urban rail infrastructure investment in the nation’s history.
Services start in the city’s north west in the second quarter of 2019 on Australia’s first
fully-automated railway, with 13 metro stations and 4,000 new commuter car parking
spaces.
From the north west, metro rail is being extended under Sydney Harbour, through
new underground city stations and south west to Bankstown.
In 2024, Sydney will have 31 metro railway stations and a 66km standalone metro
railway system.
Sydney Metro City & Southwest works are well underway. Major demolition in the city
has progressed to make way for the new stations, and the first of five tunnel boring
machines has arrived at the Marrickville dive site.
Tunnelling will start before the end of the year, delivering new 15.5 kilometre twin
metro railway tunnels from Chatswood to Sydenham, including under Sydney
Harbour.
Alan Morris, Deputy Project Director, Sydney Metro City & Southwest, will provide an
update on the Sydney Metro City & Southwest project and share details about the
work, including the route alignment, station locations, design and construction
planning for the project.
Linda Miller, Construction Director for the Tunnels and Station Excavation contract, Sydney Metro City & Southwest, will outline technical aspects of the tunnels and station excavation work, discussing progress at new city stations and share insights about milestones achieved to date, such as the production of the first of 99,746 concrete segments which will line the tunnels.
