Written by William C. Vantuono, Editor-in-ChiefAECOM Technology Corp. said Tuesday that the TrackStar Alliance, of which it is a member, has been awarded a US$15 million contract to build transit rail infrastructure in Queensland, Australia, for Queensland Rail.
Los Angeles-based AECOM said the Richlands-to-Springfield section of the Darra-to-Springfield Rail program, west of Brisbane, has a construction value of US$488 million. The project involves six miles of double track and two stations at Springfield and Springfield Lakes. AECOM will be providing civil and structural design of all road and rail infrastructure on the project, including alignments, drainage, pavements, utilities, bridges, station buildings, and associated urban and landscape design.
“AECOM is very excited to play a key role in this important transportation project,” said John M. Dionisio, AECOM president and chief executive officer. “The new rail line will help reduce congestion and ease the commutes of travelers on Centenary Highway.”
