Cimic Group company UGL has won a A$110m contract in joint venture with fellow Australian builder Adco to build new railcar maintenance plant at Bellevue, Western Australia, for the State’s Public Transport Authority.
The project expands the existing manufacturing and maintenance site.
UGL will do civil works, track construction, signalling and trackside equipment installation, electrification works and connection to the site’s existing High Voltage Traction Power substation.
Cimic Group executive chairman Juan Santamaria said: “The Bellevue facility embeds local railcar manufacturing, testing and maintenance in Western Australia. It is key to expanding the State’s rail network, and building local jobs and skills that will support future growth.”
Work started in the first quarter of 2024 and is expected to finish in mid-2026.

With the closure of the Armadale line until 2025 the WA Government should have taken the initiative and built either a monorail or maglev system but once again we just get an ancient rail system the elevated line is a step up but not very futuristic..
