Commissioned by the Public Transport Authority Perth Airport Rail in Australia has officially been opened to passengers. The infrastructure was opened by Australia’s prime minister, Anthony Albanese.
The brand new rail is 8.5-kilometer-long. It features two parallel tunnels with a depth of 26 meters. The tunnels were dug using two tunnel-boring machines. Perth Airport Rail also features three stations located at High Wycombe, Redcliffe, and Airport Central.
Additionally, it features 12 cross passages alongside other related infrastructure.

Noteworthy, Perth Airport Rail is projected to take well about 15,000 vehicles off the roads, every day. As a result, it will help to save well up to 2,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide in a year.
With an 80% stake in the project, We build led the project’s construction in a joint venture with a local partner, NRW. The firm is targeting expansion within the Australian market, especially in renewable energy as well as sustainable transport projects and sectors. Thus, the opening of Perth Airport Rail marks a significant milestone for the firm.
Furthermore, the project has left a historic print as it is one of the most complex public transport projects ever, undertaken in Western Australia.
