KBR joins Sydney’s largest metro rail project

John Holland has selected KBR to provide engineering design and construction support services for the Glenfield south and Leppington portion of the South West Rail Link (SWRL) project in New South Wales.

John Holland was awarded the $550m contract for design and construction of the SWRL between Glenfield south and Leppington in December last year.

KBR will provide permanent way design, overhead wiring design and communications systems design for this portion of the project and will also provide construction phase services support to the project delivery team.

“KBR’s involvement in the SRWL project builds upon our extensive expertise in rail systems and we are pleased to add to our growing portfolio of large-scale rail infrastructure projects,” KBR Infrastructure and Minerals president Colin Elliott said.

The SWRL is currently the largest metropolitan rail project under construction in NSW and addresses issues of reliability and passenger growth on Sydney’s metropolitan rail network and population growth in Sydney’s south-west.

It is being delivered by the NSW Government’s Transport Construction Authority.

John Holland is delivering 10.5km of new twin track electrified rail line from Glenfield to Leppington including new stations at Edmondson Park and Leppington and a train stabling facility at Rossmore.
