Melbourne Metro Rail Project

Cerecon has been working extensively across the Melbourne Metro Tunnel Project, partnering with subcontractors and working directly with Cross Yarra Partnership to deliver construction phase services and temporary works engineering across multiple work fronts on one of Australia's largest rail infrastructure programs.

Our scope centred on the design and delivery of a temporary platform walkway, providing safe, code-compliant access for construction personnel and equipment throughout the build. Temporary works of this kind sit at the intersection of structural engineering and construction sequencing — every element has to perform safely under live construction loads while accommodating a program that shifts as the works progress.

Delivering construction phase services on a project of this scale meant working closely with the wider project team: reviewing methodologies, responding to design queries as they arose on site, and keeping temporary structures aligned with the evolving permanent works, all without slowing the broader construction sequence down.

The result was a walkway solution that met the project's safety and program requirements while giving the construction team the flexibility they needed on site — a good example of the embedded, collaborative engineering support Cerecon provides on major infrastructure projects, not just a design handed over at the start but an ongoing technical partnership through to completion.
