Project Introduction
Georgiou delivered the Aubin Grove Train Station and Russell Road Upgrade for the Public Transport Authority (PTA) and Main Roads Western Australia.
In 2015, Georgiou was awarded the $105 million Aubin Grove Train Station and Russell Road Upgrade for the Public Transport Authority (PTA) and Main Roads Western Australia.
Designed to cater for the growing communities in Perth’s southern suburbs, the multi-modal Aubin Grove Train Station was the first island rail platform to be built within a “live rail” environment in Western Australia.
This was the first project in Western Australia that required the shutdown of a freeway. Georgiou successfully achieved this by utilising adjacent on and off ramps to allow the continuous flow of traffic around the site.
The station was officially opened in April 2017 with close to 4,000 people boarding at the station each week day.
