The company will be responsible for preliminary engineering, programme management, civil and structural engineering, track design, risk management, and quality assurance activities.

It will also undertake works related to schedule and cost management, permitting and environmental review, and operational and communication systems.

Designed to enhance links between established communities and activity centres in the region, the proposed 18-mile corridor will revive passenger service along an existing rail line.

Upon completion, the GCL will help improve access to the area’s cultural, recreational, educational, economic, and medical resources, lowering highway congestion and optimising economic development.

“We look forward to delivering a comprehensive, cost-effective, and risk-mitigating strategy for the GCL, honed from our work planning, designing, and implementing light rail systems in communities around the world.”
