VINCI awarded a railway upgrade contract
in Australia
- Upgrade of a section of the North
Coast Line, in the north of Brisbane in Queensland
- Contract worth €432 million (A$695
million)
Seymour Whyte, a subsidiary of VINCI
Construction in Australia has awarded - in a 50-50% joint venture
with John Holland - the contract to upgrade a section of railway
located between Beerburrum and Nambour, in the south-east of
Queensland.
The works, worth 432 million euros (695 million
Australian dollars), will start in 2025 for two years. They include
the duplication of tracks, the straightening of rails, an upgraded
park ’n’ ride facility and signalling systems. In addition, several
viaducts will be built and renovated.
This project is the first phase in the
renovation of the North Coast Line on behalf of the Department of
Transport and Main Roads. This renovated and modernised line will
increase traffic and optimise travel for passengers and freight in
a fast-growing region.
In 2023, the joint venture had already been
appointed to undertake the preparatory phase which included design
development and stakeholder engagement, geotechnical investigation
works as well as environmental and cultural heritage planning and
approvals.
