Cross River Rail is one of Australia’s largest underground rail infrastructure projects and will deliver five new inner-city stations while significantly increasing capacity across Brisbane’s rail network.
Rhomberg Sersa Australia (RSA) was engaged on the Cross River Rail project which involves the construction of a new 10.2km rail link that will allow trains to run at an increased frequency. This critical public transport infrastructure will involve building a new 5.9km tunnel under the Brisbane River and the Brisbane CBD.
We were engaged by the CBGU D&C Joint Venture to support project delivery, providing specialist resources and management expertise to ensure the agreed scope was delivered safely, efficiently, and in full compliance with contractual requirements.
Project outcomes
- Accelerated project delivery through innovative construction methodologies and purpose-built equipment.
- Improved productivity and worker safety through the use of in-house designed Concrete Placement Units (CPUs).
- Efficient installation of large precast track slab elements using specialist gantry crane systems.
- Reliable delivery of critical rail infrastructure while maintaining high standards of safety, quality, and performance.
- Increased rail network capacity for Brisbane through the successful delivery of key track infrastructure works.
Scope of works
- Project delivery management and specialist resource provision.
- Installation of 12.28 km of track slab within the tunnel network.
- Installation of track slab turnouts.
- Operation and management of the concrete placement plant.
- Design and fabrication of purpose-built Concrete Placement Units (CPUs) by our Steelwork and Infrastructure team.
- Installation of a specialised precast track slab rail system from Woolloongabba Station towards Boggo Road and the southern section.
- Installation of 7.4-tonne precast track slab elements using specialist gantry cranes.
- Delivery of all works in accordance with contractual, safety, and quality requirements.
