Melbourne Airport Rail (MAR) ¨C Early Works Package

For the first time, Melbourne Airport will be linked to Victoria¡¯s existing metropolitan and regional rail networks through a heavy rail line, the Melbourne Airport Rail (MAR)¡ªa crucial piece of transport infrastructure that will help meet the demands of Victoria¡¯s growing population.

As principal design consultant on the early works package, we¡¯re relocating more than 100 utility assets along the rail corridor to clear the path for the future MAR line. This involves managing project, scope, technical, and safety requirements across a range of designers and stakeholders. We¡¯re using innovative technology to develop a utilities digital twin model with clash detection and model attribution, and we¡¯re providing technical design, geotechnical, environmental, construction consultancy support, and survey management services.

Monitoring survey data and consolidating everything into the digital twin will help to de-risk any future MAR works, and will be handed over to the client at completion. When live, the MAR will provide passengers with a 10-minute turn-up-and-go service from Melbourne Airport and a 30-minute journey to the central business district (CBD), connecting communities to local and international travel.
