Sydney Metro City, Victoria Cross Station

Project: Sydney Metro City, Victoria Cross Station
Client: NSW Government, Transport for NSW
Principal Contractor: Joint venture between John Holland CPB Contractors Ghella

Project Overview: Forming an integral part of the Sydney Metro system, Victoria Cross Station is an underground station, over 30 meters below ground-level, located in the heart of the North Sydney Business District.

The Victoria Cross Station works are part of the broader Sydney Metro project. For more information about the plans for the Victoria Cross Station and precinct, view this 1-minute video from the Transport for NSW: click here

Our Role: Kenny Constructions are engaged to construct the permanent lining for Victoria Cross Station, which includes the construction of three-metre-deep invert slabs using an innovative prefabricated steel reinforcement cages solution. The concrete package also includes the cavern permanent lining structure. Travelling steel hydraulic forms will be used to construct the main cavern and Doka frames will be utilised to construct the adits and cross passages. The Kenny Constructions' team will also deliver complex structures, such as pedestrian adit tunnels, lift adits into cavern roof and escalator shaft tunnel linings.

Sydney Metro, Central Station

Project: Sydney Metro, Central Station
Client: NSW Government, Transport for NSW
Principal Contractor:Laing O'Rourke

Project Overview: New Sydney Metro platforms are currently being delivered by Laing O'Rourke under Central Station as well as the landmark Central Walk - a new underground pedestrian concourse to help customers get around Sydney's busiest railway station.

Sydney Metro City & Southwest is a 30-kilometre extension of metro rail from the end of Sydney Metro North West at Chatswood under Sydney Harbour, through new CBD stations and south west to Bankstown. It is due to open in 2024 with seven new metro stations and 11 upgraded stations. Central Station Metro works form part of Sydney Metro City & Southwest.

Major construction work is currently underway to deliver the biggest upgrade to Central Station in decades. The renewal of Central Station is designed to cater for growing passenger numbers and improve accessibility.

Our role: Kenny Constructions were engaged by the Principal Contractor to undertake all concrete structure works for the intercity platforms and the north-south concourse level above the new metro station. The project is being constructed using a 'top down' construction methodology and involves excavation down to the new metro tunnels 27m below ground-level. After the removal of platforms 13, 14 and 15 at the beginning of the project, our team built the new intercity platforms which are being used as a traffic deck during the construction of the permanent structure.

Sydney Metro City and Southwest, Chatswood Northern Dive & Precinct

Project: Sydney Metro City and Southwest, Chatswood Northern Dive & Precinct
Client: NSW Government, Transport for NSW
Principal Contractor: Joint venture between John Holland CPB Contractors Ghella

Project Overview: John Holland CPB Ghella (JHCPBG) have been contracted to design and construct the Tunnel and Station Excavation Works for Sydney Metro City and Southwest.

The works include, but are not limited to: twin 15.5-kilometre Sydney Metro rail tunnels from Chatswood to Marrickville, including under Sydney Harbour and the CBD, excavation and civil works for six new Metro stations and construction of two dive sites and a rail crossover cavern at Barangaroo. Excavation of a temporary shaft at Blues Point to retrieve tunnel boring machines, a substation shaft at Artarmon to provide power for future train operations and a precast facility at Marrickville to produce the concrete tunnel-lining segments were all in the project's scope too.

Our Role: Kenny Constructions have been engaged to construct 24 cast in-situ reinforced concrete cross passages, two reinforced concrete sumps and one enlarged cross passage between Chatswood and Blues Point. At each location we will construct a base slab and a centre arch lining using hydraulic steel forms. These passages are an important safety feature that allow people to move from one tunnel to the other in the event of an emergency. In addition to these works, we have been tasked with the construction of a sump and base slabs in the Chatswood dive, which will become the rail level slab in the new Chatswood Metro station.

Cross River Rail, Brisbane

Project: Cross River Rail, Brisbane
Client: Pulse / Cross River Rail Authority
Principal Contractor:CPB Bam Ghella UGL JV

Project Overview: Cross River Rail is a new 10.2 kilometre rail line from Dutton Park to Bowen Hills, which includes 5.9 kilometres of twin tunnels under the Brisbane River and the CBD.
South East Queensland's population is rising, putting the transport network under pressure.
The current rail network is already nearing capacity and is constrained by a single river crossing and just four inner-city stations, causing the bottleneck that limits our ability to run more trains.

Our Role: Kenny Constructions have been engaged by CBGU to deliver early works packages for the enabling infrastructure setup on the Project. This consists of some site access development work such as driveways, footpaths and hoarding. Other Packages of works which are yet to commence include acoustic shed footings, slabs and capping beams. The below are conceptual images of how the project will look upon completion.
