| Thiess to build $ 650 million Moreton Bay Rail Link Top Australian contractor Leighton Holding's mining services arm Thiess announced it has been awarded the $650 million contract to deliver the long awaited Moreton Bay Rail Link which will service a major suburban growth corridor in South East Queensland. Thiess is the construction spearhead of the Trackstar team which includes design subcontractors Aurecon, AECOM, HASSELL, and geotechnical subcontractor Golder Associates. First proposed more than a century ago, the 12.6 kilometre rail link will connect the greater Brisbane rail network, which currently ends at Petrie, to the rapidly growing Moreton Bay region. New stations will be built at Kippa-Ring, Rothwell, Mango Hill East, Mango Hill, Murrumba Downs and Kallangur. The project will require a workforce at its peak of 1000 people and is scheduled to be operational by June 2016. write your comments about the article :: © 2013 Construction News :: home page |
