    Rail Operation Centres

    Commercial

    < Back to Projects

    Two new purpose-built rail operation centres (approximately 3000m2) have been built in Auckland and Wellington.

    Auckland | Wellington

    These centres greatly improve the resilience of the national rail network by providing an ‘always on’ train control ability. The Auckland facility physically brings together teams from across KiwiRail, Auckland Transport, and Auckland One Rail. This enables a significant step towards improved communications, incident management, and network coordination across the entire Auckland metro rail network, while supporting the 24/7 coverage of the national network in conjunction with the partner facility in Wellington.

    Both buildings were developed and built by a developer team, with KiwiRail as the tenant having complex and bespoke facility requirements.  

    Our team provided client-side project management services for both facilities through the design phase, and also for the construction and fit-out stage of the Auckland facility. This included ensuring the occupiers’ user requirements were fully met by the developers’ team of designers and constructors, engagement with key stakeholders across multiple rail organisations, integration with parallel workstreams such as ICT, rail operations training, procurement, and coordination of design and delivery of bespoke furniture.

    Key Achievements:

    • Project delivered more than 10% below the cost identified in the 2021 Business Case, without scope reduction
    • Implementation of a truly collaborative partnership between the developer, multi-tenant parties, and the design and build supplier teams
