Yagoona Station comprises an island rail platform including offices, controls, and public facilities, plus steps to the Hume Highway footpath level above.
As with projects such as this, work must be carefully planned so that most critical activities can be completed during track closures/power outages. Six weekend track closures and a twelve-day Christmas/New Year shutdown were utilized for the works.
Arenco chose to create a completely new entry and station building rather than attempt to refurbish the existing one, with this building prefabricated in six complete modules, then lifted into place by a carefully positioned mobile crane.
Other works included a concrete platform extension, prefabricated in sections, new canopies, plus prefabricated stairs, and lift shaft – including the lift installation itself.
This carefully planned and executed project has modernised Toongabbie station whilst ensuring that accessibility complies with current standards.
