| Aecom JV wins contract for Hong Kong high-speed rail terminus Aecom Technology Corp, one of the world's largest engineering and architectural design firms, announced that a joint venture of which it is a part has been awarded a design-services contract worth US$82 million for the Mass Transit Railway Corporation Limited's Hong Kong High-Speed Rail Terminus project, which will connect to the high-speed rail network in Mainland China. The multi-level terminus, which will be the largest underground facility of its kind, will have a footprint of more than 25 acres with a topside commercial development north of the proposed West Kowloon Cultural District – between the existing Airport Railway Kowloon Station and the West Rail Austin Station. Being the southernmost terminus of China's high-speed railway network, the facility will be developed as a gateway to Mainland China, with distinctive architectural and landmark features, a user-friendly layout, and convenient interchange facilities with the urban metro network in Hong Kong. The total project cost is estimated at US$2 billion. Aecom's revenue from this project is expected to be approximately US$38 million. Completion is scheduled for 2015. write your comments about the article :: © 2009 Construction News :: home page |
