We’re incredibly proud to be undertaking another section of the iconic Sydney Metro project, helping prepare Sydney’s transport network for the future by developing stations which become hubs of our community precincts.
———— Trevor Sullivan, Director of Infrastructure at SMEC

New stations at St Marys, Orchard Hills, Luddenham, Airport Business Park, Airport Terminal and Western Sydney Aerotropolis will incorporate signalling and train control, overhead conductor wiring, tunnel drainage, ventilation and various other line-wide and tunnel systems, that will support a fast safe and reliable metro for industry and community stakeholders.

It offers a great opportunity to fully leverage the capabilities and depth of SMEC, providing opportunities for our staff to develop with the growth of the project and contribute to a city shaping program.

The project from the Australian and NSW governments is expected to create more than 14,000 construction jobs, including apprenticeships.
