Listen to this article

A joint venture led by Leighton Asia has won a A$929 million (€648 million) civils contract for Hong Kong’s Shatin to Central Link.

Leighton Asia and China State Construction Engineering will construct the underground Exhibition Station and a 300-metre cut and cover tunnel.

Leighton Holdings executive chairman and chief executive officer Marcelino Fernández Verdes said: “Securing the largest civil works contract within this project is an excellent achievement and is reflective of Leighton’s experience in delivering transport projects of this size in busy urban areas.

“Demand from growing populations and the need to address infrastructure deficits are resulting in continued growth in infrastructure investment in Asia.

“In addition to this project, Hong Kong’s government announced plans last year to further expand its mass transit network in coming years.

“Leighton Asia is positioned to be a strong contender for future work.”

Work is due to begin on site this month.
