Sydney Metro City & Southwest – Tunnel and Station Excavation Works Package - Invitation for Expression of Interest - TfNSW 2016/021

Sydney Metro is Australia’s largest public transport project.

Sydney Metro has two core components:

Stage 1: Sydney Metro Northwest – formerly the 36km North West Rail Link. This project is now under construction and will open in the first half of 2019 with a metro train every four minutes in the peak; and

Stage 2: Sydney Metro City & Southwest – a new 30km metro line extending metro rail from the end of Sydney Metro Northwest at Chatswood under Sydney Harbour, through new CBD stations and southwest to Bankstown. It is due to open in 2024 with the capacity to run a metro train every two minutes each way through the centre of Sydney.

The NSW Government has identified both stages of Sydney Metro as priority projects.

The Stage 2 Sydney Metro City & Southwest is expected to open in 2024 and will be delivered through two components:

Chatswood to Sydenham - new 15.5 kilometre twin tunnels from Chatswood to Sydenham;

Sydenham to Bankstown upgrade - upgrade of 13.5 kilometre rail line and conversion of all 11 stations between Sydenham and Bankstown to metro standards.

This Invitation for Expression of Interest deals with the first component of the Sydney Metro City & Southwest, which is for a Tunnel and Station Excavation (“TSE”) Works package.

Additional information on the project is available on the Sydney Metro City & Southwest project website at http://sydneymetro.info/home.

 

The Tunnel & Station Excavation (“TSE”) Works for the Sydney Metro City & Southwest project comprises new 15.5 kilometre twin tunnels from Chatswood, under Sydney Harbour, under Sydney’s CBD and through to Sydenham.

TfNSW intends to deliver the TSE Works under a fixed price lump sum design and construct contract for the demolition and site preparation, tunnel boring and lining and excavation of stations between Chatswood and Sydenham.

The TSE Works will be a single contract that includes all tunnelling from Chatswood to Sydenham, including the sections of tunnel beneath the harbour.
