Harnessing major infrastructure investment
The Australian Government is driving forward with significant infrastructure investments that will develop sustainable communities and enable long-term economic growth. Australia’s rail industry, for example, is vital to the economy, ensuring people and commodities can be transported across more than 33,000 kilometres of track, and it’s growth is exponential. A Railway Technology report unveiled that Australia is preparing for another major program of rail transformation with AUD 155 billion investment planned in the next 15 years. Industry experts expect that with help from the Government, the rail sector could see 1.5% of annual growth over the next five years.
At AtkinsRéalis , with extensive expertise in delivering successful infrastructure projects, we’re in a good position to harness this growth.
AtkinsRéalis is fully committed to supporting governments, like Australia's, as they press forward with infrastructure investments that develop sustainable communities and long-term economic growth.
