VINCI wins a rail contract in Australia
- Upgrading a section of the North Coast Line north of Brisbane in Queensland
- Contract worth €432 million (A$695 million)
Seymour Whyte, a subsidiary of VINCI Construction in Australia, won – as part of a group of companies with John Holland (50/50) – the contract to modernize a railway section located between Beerburrum and Nambour in the south eastern Queensland.
The work, worth 432 million euros (695 million Australian dollars), will begin in 2025 for a duration of two years. They cover the doubling and realignment of rails, the modernization of a parking lot and signaling systems. They also include the construction and renovation of several viaducts.
This project constitutes the first phase of the renovation of the North Coast Line on behalf of the Department of Transport and Main Roads. This renovated and modernized line will increase traffic and optimize passenger and freight transport in a growing region.
In 2023, the group had already been designated for the preparatory phase which included design, consultation with stakeholders, geotechnical reconnaissance work and obtaining environmental and archaeological authorizations.
