The detail

Honoured by the CCS with a ‘Gold Award’, and runner up for the ‘Most Considerate Site’, the Adelaide Depot project is “an excellent example of modern construction”.

Incorporating a social clause model, which has since been adopted by Translink for future works, our programme also featured the roll out of alternative concrete troughs.

Similarly endorsed by Translink, and now specified for its future projects, the troughs provide a more durable, secure and aesthetically pleasing product. Completed over 311,000 ‘man-hours’, the core components of the 18-month development encompass the construction of a 5100m2 train maintenance building, new accommodation office buildings plus 20,000m2 of train washing, fuelling apron and oil storage facilities. 1600m of railway, for both heavy and light maintenance, complement track interfaces and crossovers with the existing Belfast to Dublin lines.

Promoting environmental benefits, our innovative design is laced with energy efficient lighting, recycling systems, solar panels and grey water harvesting.
