The Challenge:

Auckland Transport is developing an integrated transport network to keep Tāmaki Makaurau moving as growth is expected to see 700,000 people in the city over the next 30 years.  There is a ‘missing link’ in Auckland’s rail network between Britomart and Eden Terrance.

The Outcome:

The City Rail Link is a 3.45km underground rail link that will further enhance Auckland’s public transport network, transforming travel around the city and doubling the capacity of the rail network. The project includes two new city centre stations at Aotea Square and Karangahape Rd, and a redeveloped station at Mt Eden.

This project will result in greater and easier access to more of the city centre and major employment areas, and will double the number of people living within a 30-minute train trip of a city centre station. Users will have brand new stations and a modern rail service that will benefit the entire transport network for decades to come.

Our Involvement:

Resolve Group provided the procurement of Professional Services to support lodgement of Notices of Requirement and the CBD Rail Link Study (including all technical assessments), that determined the project’s preferred location. We were also involved in the procurement of the Principal’s Technical Advisor commission and procured the Enabling Works package. In addition, we completed the market sounding and procurement strategy for remaining works.
