Auburn Maintenance Centre “Zero Road” Upgrade

Abergeldie collaborated with Downer EDI for Transport for NSW (TfNSW) to upgrade the existing “Zero Road” facilities of Auburn Maintenance Centre. This project has expanded the centre’s capacity for maintenance and shunting of the Waratah Trains fleet, enabling better public transport service across the network. Abergeldie delivered heavy civil building services, rail drainage remediation, HV services, and retractable OHW works.

Complexity

Community Benefit

Through the use of trenchless technology, Gold Coast’s residents, businesses, and visitors have seen their stormwater network renewed without the inconvenience and obtrusive interruption that typically comes with conventional replacement methods.

As over 90% of the works were affected by the tide heights of the Gold Coast seaway, different methods to isolate the outlet pipes were trialled and ultimately successfully completed. Adjustments to the lining designs were also required as some of the works were completed underwater.
