Melbourne’s rail network is carrying more passengers than ever before, the fastest growing train lines are rapidly approaching capacity and many peak period services suffer from chronic overcrowding and unreliability. Demand is predicted to exceed capacity of current rail services during peak times and exacerbate overcrowding and delays.
Melbourne Metro is to provide a substantial uplift in capacity across the rail network. The infrastructure proposed for construction as part of Melbourne Metro:
Balpara's Surveying Involvement:
The Balpara results are supplied to Citipower by Daly’s as evidence that they employ the highest standards in construction and that the surrounding areas are not affected by their works.
Balpara’s Design & Modelling Involvement:
A new station in Domain is strategically placed to ease pressure on the St Kilda Road/ Swanston Street tram corridor and will significantly improve access to key Melbourne landmarks such as the Shrine of Remembrance and Albert Park. Construction of a temporary power substation on the southern end of Edmund Herring Oval, close to Domain Road was required, which resulted in Balpara’s involvement. This substation will provide power for the tunnel boring machines required to build the Metro Tunnel.
