Alliance picked for Queensland rail works
Contractors have been announced for the Logan and Gold Coast Faster Rail project in Queensland.
CIMIC Group’s CPB Contractors and UGL have secured the design and pre-construction contract for the Logan and Gold Coast (LGC) Faster Rail project, a major upgrade aimed at boosting capacity and service frequency on one of Queensland’s busiest transport corridors.
Awarded as part of the ActivUs Alliance – comprising CPB Contractors, UGL, ACCIONA, SMEC and WSP – the contract will see the group collaborate with the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads and Queensland Rail to advance detailed design and project planning.
The LGC project will upgrade a 20-kilometre stretch between Kuraby and Beenleigh from two to four tracks and deliver a suite of accessibility and infrastructure improvements.
These include station upgrades with enhanced park ‘n’ ride and bus interchange facilities, level crossing removals, enhanced pedestrian and cycling links, and enabling works for future rollout of the European Train Control System.
The alliance is now commencing design development and further site investigations to prepare for delivery ahead of the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
