The New South Wales (NSW) government has drawn up a shortlist of companies to carry out the surface and viaduct civil works for Sydney’s North West Rail Link.
Minister for Transport Gladys Berejiklian announced the project’s latest milestone last week.
“Work is pushing ahead on the North West Rail Link and we are really enthused by the strong interest from local and international companies wanting to be part of this massive project that will benefit the entire state,” Ms Berejiklian said.
“We are on track to have tunnel boring machines in the ground next year.”
Three groups, made up of 33 companies, have been shortlisted for the Surface and Viaduct Civil (SVC) Works contract, which includes building the 4km skytrain between Bella Vista and Rouse Hill.
The three groups are:
- Impregilo Salini Joint Venture – Impregilo SpA, Salini Australia Pty Ltd.
- Leighton Rizzani De Eccher Joint Venture – Leighton Contractors Pty Ltd, Rizzani De Eccher Australia Pty Ltd
- Abigroup Contractors Pty Ltd
The SVC contract is expected to be awarded at the end of this year and is one of three major contracts to deliver the North West Rail Link.
