SydneyMetroTunnelCompressedAir
Detailed delivery of complex hydraulic upgrades and plant room installations in a live operational environment.
Project Overview
Project Context
Goldman Plumbing Services installed the 17 individual compressed air systems required for the tunnel ventilation system throughout the Sydney Metro City & Southwest Line project. The systems were distributed across 17 plant rooms, each containing two compressors, two air receivers and a selection of pneumatic control panels.
Technical Scope
The compressed air operates the damper actuators that control the tunnel's air flow through separate ventilation zones. The installation required over 50,000 metres of stainless steel compressed air pipework.
Outcome & Handover
Goldman Plumbing worked as a contractor to Systems Connect Linewide, a CPB Contractors and UGL Engineering joint venture, on behalf of NSW Infrastructure. The team boosted productivity to meet Sydney Metro's acceleration targets as required, completing the works in November 2023.
