Description:  

The Thiess United Group Joint Venture, as part of the Trackstar Alliance, have been awarded a contract by Queensland Rail to construct four major rail infrastructure projects in south east Queensland. The projects are part of the South East Queensland Infrastructure Plan (SEQIP) Rail Alliance which was set up to ensure the delivery of planned rail infrastructure works for the region.

Under the SEQIP Rail Alliance, the joint venture partners will plan, design, construct and commission all civil earthworks and structures, stations, signalling, overhead and track installations for the four railway infrastructure projects. These include:
  • Caboolture to Beerburrum duplication (completed in April 2009)
  • Robina to Reedy Creek extension
  • Beerburrum to Landsborough duplication, and
  • Corinda to Darra third track.

Please note there is a separate project page on the Corinda to Darra third track project. For more information on the Corinda to Darra Rail Upgrade project, click here.

The SEQIP Rail Projects are considered a significant investment for the Queensland government in ensuring the future of rail in the region. The project is expected to increase capacity and better accessiblity to the growing south east Queensland rail corridors.
