A sector on the rise: the railway industry

With $155 billion in rail investment planned in Australia in the next 15 years, the rail industry is investing in new approaches to deliver an efficient, modern and responsive network that meets the needs of the economy and community. 

Australia's rail sector is forecast to grow 7% annually to AUD 107 billion from 2024 to 2032, opening up new business opportunities. 

Drive railway transformation with AtkinsRéalis projects 

At AtkinsRéalis, we're at the forefront of this transformation. We combine traditional engineering with cutting-edge digital technology to create safer, more efficient, and more sustainable railway networks.

As the Integrated Delivery Partner, we are leading project integration and delivering key mandates for this 23km rail line, which will connect six new stations with major job hubs and the new Western Sydney International Airport. 

Additionally, we are providing ongoing operations and maintenance support for the Cross River Rail project—a 10.2km rail line featuring 5.9km of twin tunnels under the Brisbane River and Brisbane CBD. 

Shaping the future of Australia's railway sector

This world-class infrastructure will unlock new opportunities for residents, businesses, and travelers, forming the backbone of Greater Western Sydney's transport network.
