Queensland Rail Accessibility Upgrades

545a8738 Lr

Project Overview

As part of its ongoing commitment to improving accessibility across the South East Queensland rail network, Queensland Rail undertook upgrade works at Thomas Street, Wulkuraka and Geebung stations to better support passengers and meet accessibility objectives outlined under relevant state and federal legislation.

CV was engaged to deliver critical electrical infrastructure works supporting these station upgrades. Working within live rail environments, the team successfully managed complex staging requirements, restricted site access, day and night shift operations, and stringent Queensland Rail technical and safety requirements. Through detailed planning and coordination, CV delivered the upgrades safely, on schedule and within budget.

Scope of Works

CV delivered a comprehensive package of electrical infrastructure upgrades across three operational rail stations, supporting enhanced accessibility, passenger safety and station functionality. Works were carefully coordinated to minimise disruption to rail operations while meeting all project and compliance requirements.

Key deliverables:

  • Remediation and upgrade of existing platform lighting systems.
  • Electrical infrastructure installation for platform extension works at Thomas Street Station.
  • Installation of associated lighting and earthing systems for upgraded platforms.
  • Upgrades to existing station lighting and power infrastructure.
  • Installation of architectural lighting throughout station facilities.
  • Installation of new distribution boards and isolation transformers.
  • Installation of cable tray systems on pedestrian footbridges.
  • Delivery of exit and emergency lighting systems.
  • Complete station earthing works across the upgraded facilities.

Outcomes & Impact

  • Improved Accessibility – Electrical infrastructure enabled key station upgrades that support safer and easier access for passengers.
  • Operational Continuity – Works were delivered within live rail environments through carefully planned staging and coordinated day and night shifts.
  • Enhanced Safety – Upgraded lighting, emergency systems and earthing infrastructure improved station safety and reliability.
  • Reliable Network Infrastructure – New power distribution equipment and supporting electrical systems strengthened long-term asset performance.
  • Program Certainty – Effective project management enabled delivery within challenging site constraints, maintaining schedule and budget objectives.

The CV Difference

Working within live rail environments demands more than technical expertise – it requires a deep understanding of operational constraints, stakeholder coordination and rigorous safety and compliance requirements. CV has a proven track record delivering complex rail infrastructure projects, leveraging meticulous planning, flexible delivery methodologies and strong rail industry knowledge to complete critical works safely, efficiently and with minimal disruption to network operations.
