TrackStar Alliance, Australia

Aurecon was part of a successful infrastructure delivery alliance

Established in 2006, TrackStar Alliance designed and constructed a series of rail infrastructure projects in South East Queensland.

TrackStar Alliance was an integrated infrastructure delivery business that harnessed the skills of four business partners: Queensland Rail, Thiess, Aurecon and AECOM. Projects include:

• The Caboolture to Beerburrum Track Duplication
• The Robina to Varsity Lakes Rail Extension

The Alliance completed the construction of the Stage 2 Richlands to Springfield Project, delivered to help reduce congestion on the Centenary Highway, taking 2500 cars off the road during peak traffic times.

Key features of this project included a 9.5 kilometre dual track passenger rail line, two new stations, an integrated bus and rail interchange, seven rail bridges and more than seven kilometres of cycle pathways.
