CROSS RIVER RAIL – BOGGO ROAD STATION

The new underground Boggo Road Station is part of the Cross River Rail project – a new 10.2-kilometre rail line in Brisbane delivered by the Queensland Government.

Joint venture partners – CPB Contractors, BAM, Ghella and UGL Design and Construction (CBGU D&C JV) – awarded the heavy lift cranage contract to Marr Contracting after the Pulse consortium, of which CBGU is the D&C member won the competitive State tender to deliver the design and construction package for the project.

After previously working with two of the joint venture partners (CPB Contractors and Ghella) on construction of the Sydney Metro Barangaroo and Martin Place stations, Marr was invited by the CBGU D&C JV to work with them at bid stage to develop a cranage solution that would support the desired construction methodology for the project which was based around heavy precast elements and beams.
