Museum station major upgrade was part of the State Governments transport access programme. Arenco designed & constructed a complex project that achieved its statutory brief, preserved a significant heritage precinct & provided an uninterrupted community experience during the construction phase.
Unique innovations were developed & implemented for the project to assist with the planning &installation of three lifts from street level to platforms. An access turntable from Elizabeth Street was incorporated to facilitate the entry & exit from the site for spoil removal & material deliveries. A specially designed & fabricated gantry was installed straddling over Elizabeth Street footpath to facilitate the vertical movements of excavated materials from the platforms levels.
Despite the extensive heavy engineering focus involved in the project, the final result was the sensitive preservation & restoration of a Sydney landmark. It is an outstanding example of how successful collaboration between client, stakeholders, designers & contractors combined to achieve outstanding quality outcomes & finishes of exceptional quality.
