Bechtel’s scope includes managing the delivery of 15.5km of twin-bore tunnelling using five tunnel boring machines and excavation for six new metro stations.
The Sydney Metro - Australia’s largest public infrastructure project - will include new twin rail tunnels under Sydney Harbour.
“The Sydney Metro is crucial to the modernisation and transformation of the city’s public transport network and will help meet the challenges of a growing population,” said Tim Parker, project director, Transport for New South Wales. “We believe that Bechtel is the right partner with the right leadership skills and programme management expertise to deliver a world-class metro system for Sydney.”
