ASX-listed engineering and infrastructure firm RCR Tomlinson has been awarded a $70 million contract by Metro Trains Melbourne to deliver station upgrade works within the Melbourne Underground Rail Loop.
RCR said the project works package includes engineering, design, supply, installation, testing, commissioning of system upgrades for three MURL stations: Parliament, Melbourne Central and Flagstaff.
“We continue to see growth in our pipeline of rail infrastructure projects and this award clearly shows RCR’s capability to support a range of complex rail systems projects,” RCR managing director and chief executive Paul Dalgleish said.
“We look forward to working with MTM to deliver a safe and reliable project,” he added.
The State Government said the project included the installation of new platform smoke extraction systems, upgraded station sprinklers and a new alarm system.
“More than 111,000 people use Melbourne’s City Loop each day,” acting transport minister Luke Donellan said this week. “These vital upgrades will continue to keep them safe and ensure they have a reliable journey.”
