Sunnybank Station Upgrade


Project Scope

Doval Constructions, together with Queensland Rail, GHD and Abigroup, formed an alliance partnership to upgrade the track formation and stations between Salisbury and Kuraby, Brisbane.


This package was the largest and most complex of the S2K packages between Salisbury and Kuraby.


Doval was responsible for the station upgrades at Sunnybank, together with the associated construction of a new road and carpark facility and the realignment and reconstruction of Stones Road, Breton Street, Dixon Road and the level crossing linking these three access points.


The existing platforms were raised and new lift shafts with overhead footbridge accesses were installed.


A new track formation was prepared prior to Queensland Rail laying a fourth track through the Station.


Exceptional performance within Doval’s scope of KPI’s resulted in a final Limb 3 KRA payment to Doval of *10% on top of the final contract value.
