WMUP CSR Bridge Works

The Wellington Metro Upgrade Programme (WMUP) is issuing this Registration of Interest on behalf of KiwiRail’s Capital Projects and Asset Development team. WMUP is a rolling programme of work on the Wellington metro rail network to address deferred maintenance (catch up) and to provide new levels of capacity and performance (upgrades) with the objective of delivering a safe and reliable metro rail network that meets current and future customer expectations in the Wellington region.

The programme started in 2011 and is now made up of seven inter-linked sub programmes of work that collectively are critical to an integrated 12-year programme developing passenger rail in Wellington.

The Wairarapa Line is being upgraded to accommodate additional passenger and freight trains. To support the additional trains KiwiRail is signalling the line from Upper Hutt through to Masterton. This is an opportunity to work with KiwiRail to install sections of the above ground combined services route over our medium-large bridges along the Wairarapa Line.

We are looking for a supplier that has a strong demonstrable health and safety track record. We are interested in how these works can be delivered efficiently in the most cost-effective manner while ensuring KiwiRail’s standards are met. It is important that these works minimise any impacts on the instream environments. It is expected that the supplier has an implicit understanding of what it takes to work in our metro network.
