KBR (NYSE:KBR) today announced that its Australian-based
Infrastructure and Minerals (I&M) business unit has been
awarded a contract to provide engineering design services for
Australia’s Liverpool Turnback project in Sydney, Australia. The
Liverpool Turnback project is part of a broader US$143 million
upgrade of the Liverpool rail precinct, one of the world’s most
complex suburban rail networks in the region.
Upgrades under the project include the construction of a new
platform and an additional 1.1 miles (1.8km) of track through
Liverpool Station. KBR will provide engineering design services for
the track, overhead electrification, concourse and footbridge
extensions, and associated civil works. Major construction is due
to begin early in 2011 and is scheduled for completion in 2014.
The contract award marks the latest in a series of Australian
rail contract wins for KBR’s I&M business, which includes the
award of the preliminary design contract for the US$4.36 billion
Regional Rail Link project in Victoria, Australia.
“This project award is a testament to the company’s global
reputation to deliver complex projects safely in challenging
environments,” said Colin Elliott, President, KBR Infrastructure
and Minerals. “We look forward to providing our expertise to the
Liverpool Turnback project and providing the high-quality service
that KBR’s customers have come to expect from the company.”
