Siemens Mobility to deliver a turnkey metro system for Sydney Metro – Western Sydney Airport

  • Turnkey contract to integrate the #delivery and commissioning of fully automated, driverless metro trains, #digital rail infrastructure including signalling, electrification, telecoms, platform screen doors and depot
  • Providing latest #digital products and platforms, optimizing operations throughout the network for the trains, rail infrastructure and subsystems
  • 15-year maintenance contract, first time usage of #digital asset management applications by #railigentx in Australia 

Siemens #mobility is the system integrator and reliable partner for on time #delivery of the city-shaping project #Sydney Metro – Western #Sydney Airport, the new metro railway line that will #service between St Marys, the new Western #Sydney International Airport and the Western Sydney Aerotropolis. The company has been awarded a contract to deliver 12 automated, driverless 3-car metro trains, a purpose built depot, the #digital rail infrastructure including signalling, electrification, telecoms and platform screen doors as well as system integration, testing and commissioning. The company will also complete a 15-year maintenance contract. #siemensmobility is delivering the turnkey project as a member of the Parklife Metro consortium with its partners Webuild, RATP Dev, #siemens Financial Services and Plenary Group, all with strong international experience in delivering infrastructure projects. The #siemensmobility portion of the contract is 900 million Euro.

“We are excited to win and deliver this important project to help connecting communities and travellers with the new Western #Sydney International Airport and the growing region. This project will give the #people of #Sydney sustainable transport with new rail services, offering quick, reliable and CO2-free journeys”, said #michaelpeter, CEO #siemensmobility. “We will provide the full suite of our latest #digital technology, platforms and portfolio solutions. Our #railigentx #digital asset management applications will ensure highest reliability and availability of the assets."

The #SydneymetrowesternSydneyairportproject highlights a significant milestone for #siemensmobility in #Australia, with the first turnkey project and first Public Private Partnership. The new airport is forecast to have 10 million passengers by the early 2030s and will be Sydney’s first 24/7 airport. The city-shaping rail link will support access to the new Western #Sydney Aerotropolis that will create approximately 200,000 new jobs, providing a major economic stimulus for the Western Sydney, New South Wales and national economies.

Siemens #mobility will implement #railigentx – the #mobility Application Suite for #digital services – to help gain valuable data insights in operation to enable greater reliability and availability for the assets. #railigentx will provide an optimized maintenance regime as a result of FRACAS (failure reporting, analysis, and corrective action system) and RCM (Reliability Centred Maintenance) analysis. 

For over 150 years, #siemens has been helping to transform #Australia. In 1893, #siemens completed construction of the Hobart Tramway in Tasmania, the first electric tramway to be established with any success in the Southern Hemisphere. #siemensmobility #Australia has a proven track record in deploying transport infrastructure projects in all Australian states and in New Zealand.  The company’s core business areas are rolling stock, rail automation and electrification, turnkey systems, intelligent traffic systems, as well as related services.
