Jacobs and Arcadis selected by the TMR in Queensland for rail project

Jacobs (J), in a joint venture with Arcadis, or AJJV, was selected by the Department of Transport and Main Roads Queensland, or TMR, for the Logan and Gold Coast Faster Rail Project. The project will transform South East Queensland’s rail network, expanding capacity and enhancing the passenger experience between Brisbane and the Gold Coast, Australia’s third and sixth largest cities. As Project Independent Certifier, the team will ensure quality and compliance during design and construction of major upgrades to double the tracks from two to four along a 12.4-mile corridor and remove five level crossings to improve safety and reduce congestion. The project will also make it easier for customers to access high frequency rail services through modern station upgrades and improved walking and cycling connections.
