The Terra Verde joint venture, led by Webuild, has signed an AUD 1.7 billion (US$ 1.1 Billion) contract to design and build part of a suburban rail loop in Melbourne, Australia.
The Terra Verde consortium consists of GS Engineering & Construction of Korea (33.5%), Bouygues of France (33%), and Webuild of Italy (33.5%). It has been chosen by the SRL Authority of Victoria to construct SRL East, a 10 km double-bore tunnel with two underground stations “boxes” and 39 lateral connections between Glen Waverley and Box Hill for the northern section of a major project. The scope includes 10 km of tunneling works. SRL East will be part of a 90 km rail system that will link the city’s existing rail systems. It will let people reach destinations in the suburbs without going in and out of the central business district.
Place Alliance (John Holland, Arup Australia Projects and Kellogg Brown and Root), Eastern Stations Precinct Alliance (Lendlease and WSP Australia) and Connexus Alliance (CPB Contractors, Multiplex and GHD) will compete for two contracts, each covering three stations. One will build stations at Glen Waverley, Burwood and Box Hill; the other at Cheltenham, Clayton and Monash. The first station contract will be awarded in 2026. Tunneling starts in 2026, with trains scheduled to take passengers in 2035. The SRL project has attracted three shortlisted bidders for the station construction contracts, split between northern and southern sections. The consortia include established firms such as John Holland, Lendlease Construction, and CPB Contractors, partnering with various engineering consultancies.
