Glenfield Station upgrade – Novorail Alliance

A 5 year 6 billion dollar project completed successfully by the Novorail alliance on the south west rail link, CSTS provided geotechnical support and testing for all major earthworks and completion of the transport interchange hub which will continue to Leppington and possibly to the long awaited second Sydney airport at Badgerys creek.

The Glenfield Junction northern flyover was built as part of the South West Rail Link project. The flyover was commissioned in early June 2014 and is already helping to deliver a more efficient rail network for customers. The flyover separates T2 South Line services from T2 Airport Line services, reducing flow-on effects to other trains across the Sydney rail network if a service is delayed. Previously trains from the two lines had to take turns at Glenfield, slowing them down and creating a bottleneck whenever a train was delayed. The flyover now allows two trains to cross at the same time, one over the top of the other, meaning the network will flow much more effectively and predictably.
