Keller Intrafor Joint Venture awarded A$200 million contract
as part of Metro Tunnel Project
Keller Group plc ('Keller'), the world's largest geotechnical
contractor, announces its 50:50 joint venture with Intrafor (KIJV),
part of Bouygues Construction, has been awarded an A$200m (GBP113m)
contract for work on the A$6 billion Metro Tunnel Project in
Melbourne Australia.
The contract joint venture brings together complimentary
geotechnical capabilities, experience and capacity for this major
infrastructure project; a new metro line running through the
Melbourne Central Business District that will deliver twin
nine-kilometre tunnels and five new underground stations.
The contract is to construct the substructure retention walls
and foundation piling for the stations. The project will require
two diaphragm wall cutters, four diaphragm wall grabs and up to 12
piling rigs. Keller and Intrafor provided a significant amount of
early technical advice to optimise design and buildability.
The joint venture is currently mobilising teams and equipment
with work starting this month. While the majority of KIJV packages
will finish mid-2019, it is anticipated that work will continue
through to 2020.
Alain Michaelis, Chief Executive, comments:
"Our global scale and expertise, in combination with a strong
track record of successful work in Melbourne, made us ideally
placed to win work on this landmark project."
