METALLIANCE, a company which specializes in the design and manufacture of industrial equipment and mobile machinery, announces an order for 12 vehicles, including 5 TSP50s, 2 VMS30s, 2 Menriders 20Cs and 3 VMS Maintenance, from the Australian joint venture between CPB Contractors (CIMIC Group) and Ghella (CPBG). These vehicles are destined for the Sydney Metro – Western Sydney Airport project in Australia, which is delivering twin tunnels and six new stations. The vehicles will be delivered in 2023.
A relationship of trust between METALLIANCE and its partners in Australia
This new order is part of METALLIANCE’s wider involvement in the construction of Sydney Metro, as it follows the recently announced order for 12 VMS (see PR of June 7, 2022) for the construction of the central section of Sydney Metro West. METALLIANCE has been contributing to the project for nearly 10 years, with over 40 vehicles supplied for the first two phases of Sydney Metro construction, including 25 for Sydney Metro City & Southwest in 2017 and 15 for Sydney Metro Northwest in 2013.
The client companies, CPB and Ghella, previously worked together on the Sydney Metro City & Southwest and Brisbane Cross River Rail projects. The joint venture also took over the METALLIANCE fleet of the Brisbane project: 3 TSP50, 2 VMS25, 2 Menriders 20C, 1 VMS Maintenance and 2 BUTORS TEM–100–T. These repurposed machines will join the newly ordered equipment which testifies to the satisfaction of CPBG with the technology and equipment of METALLIANCE.
