NorthLink WA
Creating a vital transport link with Western Australia's biggest road initiative.
The Federal and State Governments invested $1.12 billion to construct NorthLink WA, which links to Gateway WA and services regional traffic movements to commercial and industrial areas such as Malaga, Kewdale, Perth Airport and the Perth CBD. The project comprised of the construction and upgrade of several roads into freeways, a series of freeway interchanges and flyovers to improve traffic flow, as well as cycling and pedestrian facilities along the various routes.
As with all major infrastructure projects of this size, scale and complexity, Government and financiers need the highest level of assurance that the project will be delivered according to the design and construction contract. The APP Group, supported by partners Arcadis and SMEC, were appointed as Independent Certifier for Stages 1, 2 and 3 of the NorthLink WA project. The role covered undertaking design reviews to assess that the design meets with the requirements of the SWTC, auditing of the contractor’s management plans as well as full time site supervision to monitor the quality of the product delivered.
On completion in 2020, NorthLink WA now provides efficient and safe road access for all road users, by eliminating four of the State’s top 15 most dangerous intersections.
