Narre Warren Station

As part of Western Project Alliance’s Webb St Level Crossing Removal Project, Built Environs constructed a new premium railway station at Narre Warren, including elevated platforms to suit the raised track viaduct. 

Access and working-time restrictions that apply to working in proximity to live rail, dictated that prefabrication methods were used for many of the building elements. For the south-side lifts, Built Environs prefabricated steel lift shafts in temporary positions to allow cladding installation, prior to lifting into permanent position during the major rail occupation and changeover (from on-grade to elevated condition).

The building works included: 

• 2 No. 160-metre platforms, constructed on ‘Super T’ pre-stressed beams 
• Platform canopies, including screens for wind and rain protection 
• A series of ground-level ‘pod’ buildings, providing staff and commuter facilities, PSO office, plant and equipment rooms, kiosk and bicycle storage (‘Parkiteer’) 
• Lifts and stairs 
• Paved concourse area 
• Emergency and maintenance stair structures
