MONTREAL, June 2, 2021 /CNW Telbec/ - SNC-Lavalin
(TSX: SNC), in partnership with HKA and Infrastructure Nation, has
been appointed as Integration and Delivery Partner for the AUD 11
billion Sydney Metro – Western
Sydney Airport project.
Under the terms of a six-year contract, SNC-Lavalin and its
local partners will support Sydney
Metro's in-house resources to undertake project integration and
delivery of multiple mandates for the driverless railway, which
includes six new stations linking residential areas with job
hubs.
"SNC-Lavalin is fully committed to supporting governments, like
Australia's, as they press forward
with infrastructure investments that develop sustainable
communities and long-term economic growth," said Ian L. Edwards, President and CEO of
SNC-Lavalin. We commend Sydney Metro for being a catalyst for the
industry by revolutionising rail travel in Australia.''
The 23 km line – which forms part of Australia's largest public transport program –
will become the transport spine for Greater Western Sydney,
connecting communities, businesses and travellers with the new
Western Sydney International
Airport and the growing region.
"The Australian market is an important growth area for
SNC-Lavalin, and we are delighted to have the opportunity to
partner with Sydney Metro and
collaborate with local partners on this crucial project,'' said
Steve Morriss, SNC-Lavalin President
for Middle East and Asia. As we begin rapid mobilisation of
this project, we will leverage our global expertise and
leading-edge project management services that help increase the
predictability of infrastructure delivery, as well as whole life
value."
Sydney Metro is Australia's largest public transport project.
By the end of the decade, Sydney
will have a world-class metro system with 46 stations and more than
113 kilometres of railway, revolutionising work, recreation and
leisure commuting.
The Sydney Metro – Western
Sydney Airport project is funded by the Australian and New South Wales governments, who have a shared
objective of having the line operational when Western Sydney
International opens for passenger services.
