City Rail Link Electrical & Communications Infrastructure

Beskrivelse: Omexom delivered critical electrical and communications infrastructure for Auckland's City Rail Link, New Zealand's largest underground rail project. Les mer ↧

Auckland's first underground rail

The City Rail Link (CRL) is New Zealand’s first underground railway and one of the country’s most significant transport infrastructure projects, designed to transform Auckland’s rail network by removing capacity constraints and enabling future growth. The 3.45-kilometre twin-tunnel rail connection links Waitematā Station with Maungawhau Station and introduces two new underground city centre stations, significantly increasing passenger capacity to meet an expected peak of 54,000 passengers per hour by 2035.

Omexom installs critical infrastructure

Omexom was responsible for delivering critical electrical and communications infrastructure essential to the project’s success. Their scope included installing and integrating high-voltage and low-voltage power systems, communications and fibre cabling, cable containment, station electrical services, and rail signalling and earthing systems. Work involved approximately 10,000 metres of HV cabling, 730,000 metres of LV and communications cabling, and over 800,000 work hours. Omexom also constructed and commissioned two traction sectioning cabins off-site, supporting Auckland’s 25 kV electrified rail network for reliable traction power.

Complex alliance and innovations

The project was executed within a complex alliance delivery model involving Link Alliance, City Rail Link Limited, KiwiRail, and various specialist contractors. Managing multiple trades in constrained underground environments required close coordination to maintain safety and programme performance. Omexom developed innovations such as a motorised, hydraulically powered cable drum stand with remote control for safer cable handling, and a tunnel cable rolling pole to improve cable installation efficiency and reduce physical strain, demonstrating their commitment to continuous improvement.

Sustainability and societal benefits

Beyond the immediate infrastructure outcomes, CRL delivers broad societal benefits by enabling more efficient, frequent, and accessible public transport, reducing travel times and road congestion. Constructed under the Infrastructure Sustainability Council framework, the project achieved Leading sustainability ratings, contributing to Auckland’s environmental goals by promoting lower transport emissions. Additionally, the project generated social benefits through employment, training, and development opportunities, strengthening local industry capability and specialist skills.

Landmark achievement for Auckland

As Auckland prepares for a new era of public transport, the City Rail Link stands as a landmark achievement. Omexom’s technical expertise and collaborative approach were integral to delivering the complex electrical and communications systems required to support millions of passengers for generations, ensuring a sustainable and efficient transport future for the city.
