RATP Dev among organisations shortlisted for New Sydney Airport Metro Project

Australia’s Sydney Metro has shortlisted three organisations to deliver key construction work on the Sydney Metro – Western Sydney Airport project.

The consortium organisation Parklife Metro which is made up of Plenary Origination, Webuild, RATP Dev, Siemens Mobility, Siemens Mobility GmbH, Siemens Project Ventures, and Siemens Mobility Austria, is one of the organisations shortlisted for the Sydney Metro- Western Sydney Airport PPP tender.

The line will service Greater Western Sydney and the new Western Sydney International Airport. This project will support 14,000 construction jobs, including 250 apprentices.

This shortlisting marks the entry of RATP Dev into the Australian market. The French firm’s parent company RATP Group currently operates the Paris Metro.

The contract is expected to be awarded at the end of 2022 and the successful tenderer will operate the Sydney Metro – Western Sydney Airport line for 15 years after the completion of the project.
