VINCI awarded two major infrastructure
projects in Australia
- New Sydney Airport landside construction works
- Major road upgrade contract in Melbourne
- Contracts worth approximately AUD 528 million (€338
million) in total
Seymour Whyte, an Australian subsidiary of VINCI
Construction, has been awarded two new contracts in the country. It
seeks to achieve an ‘Excellent’ sustainability rating from the
Infrastructure Sustainability Council of Australia for both
projects.
In Sydney, Seymour Whyte, in a
joint venture with BMD, has been awarded a contract for landside
civil and building works for the future Western Sydney
International (Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport (WSI) in Australia on
track to open in 2026, catering for up to 10 million passengers
annually.
The works, worth approximately AUD 380 million
(EUR 243 million), include the integration of the new M12 motorway,
which will link the airport to the Sydney motorway network, and the
airport's two metro stations. The project will also include the
construction of car spaces, electric vehicle charging
stations, roads, bridges, utility network connections, operational
buildings, and landscaping.
In Melbourne, Seymour Whyte has
been awarded the Healesville-Koo Wee Rup Road upgrade in the East
of the city by Major Road Projects Victoria (MRPV).
The project, worth AUD 148 million (€95
million), involves a 5 km road duplication, two new bridges, and a
new 5.5 km shared user path. Starting early 2022 for a duration of
approximately two and a half years, the upgrade will improve travel
times, reduce congestion, and boost safety along Healesville-Koo
Wee Rup Road for more than 15,000 drivers that rely on this route
each day.
The project's key focus is to minimise its
environmental impact by using a 30% recycled asphalt product,
reinforced concrete with recycled plastic used in place of steel
reinforcing mesh and building 23 fauna underpasses. A number of
other initiatives to protect flora and fauna will be
implemented.
