Webuild

Webuild, as part of parklife metro jv, will deliver sydney metro's largest contract and d&b has been selected as their official recruitment partner

About the project

With the primary goal of better connecting Greater Western Sydney, this is the largest scope of any Sydney Metro contract awarded so far and is the most significant Public-Private Partnership in New South Wales.

Webuild will be involved within the Parklife Metro Consortium in delivering the SSTOM contract for the joint Australian and NSW government project, including:

- 12 new metro trains

- 6 new stations

- Core rail systems, infrastructure, and line-wide works

- Stabling and Maintenance facility at Orchard hills

- Operation & Maintenance of the Sydney Metro – Western Sydney Airport line for 15 years

Beyond being the largest scope for Sydney Metro, this major contract also marks the first rail infrastructure project in Australian history to commit to being certified carbon-neutral from start to finish of construction operations. All carbon emissions generated during construction and operation will be reduced and offset.

This mega project will help shape the future of the growing Greater Western Sydney region and connect commuters and travellers with the new Western Sydney International Airport, providing significant economic stimulus and supporting more than 14,000 jobs during construction.

In Australia

Webuild has delivered the Sydney Northwest project, which involved a new metropolitan train line northwest of Sydney, connecting Chatswood Station with Cudgegong Road. The operation involved building 8 new stations and 4,000 parking spaces, being the continent's first completely automated high-speed train system.

In Perth, Webuild has also been responsible for delivering the Forrestfield-Airport Link. This new metro line allows residents in the eastern suburbs to travel 20 minutes to WA's capital city centre – a reduction of over 50% in travel time. The line generates 20,000 passenger trips every day and is estimated to be taking 15,000 vehicles off the roads, reducing up to 2,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions a year.
