Daglish Turnback Improvements Project awarded to Laing O'Rourke Australia Construction Pty Ltd

About

Public Transport Authority awarded a contract to Laing O'Rourke Australia Construction Pty Ltd for turnback infrastructure improvements at Daglish station to enable Fremantle line turnback operations following commissioning of the Morley–Ellenbrook (MEL) rail line.

Tracks, switches and signalling were already in place; the contract required additional works to integrate the Daglish turnback into long‑term service operations and to ensure the facility was operational to support the MEL service timetable by December 2024.

The contractor was responsible for construction, provision of materials and obtaining required approvals.

The scope included an illuminated driver’s walkway; toilet facilities for drivers; service connections; communications; stop bollards and signage alterations; and a perimeter fence upgrade.

The works were packaged into Core (design assistance and long‑lead material ordering), Scope 1 – Civil Package (minor works such as path, handrails, lighting and fencing) and Scope 2 – Toilet Installation Works (including communications and all pit & pipe required to service the toilet).
