Gosford Passing Loops

Projects Gosford Passing Loops

Summary

The Gosford Passing Loops project has delivered two passing loops between Gosford and Narara stations to allow freight trains to wait whilst passenger services pass.

In January 2013, Robson commenced design and construction works for the Principal Contractor, Downer. This $100million contract for Transport for New South Wales (TfNSW) is designed to ease a rail bottleneck at Gosford described, by Transport for NSW, as “the most serious on the east coast rail network”.

Robson were responsible for the civil component of the rail project which was completed in February 2015.

Highlights

Despite the challenges of working alongside a number of other stakeholders in this constrained rail corridor, Robson’s activities progressed extremely well, with completion of the civil works completed early.
Robson liaised closely with the community to minimise disruption caused by construction activities. Community consultation was also carried out on urban and landscaping designs.
