of warehousing and distribution facilities
$150 million

The solution
With a total area the size of Sydney’s central business district, the MLP project included the design and development of over 30ha of warehousing and distribution facilities and upgrade to approximately 1.5km of Moorebank Avenue. The client wanted to better understand the environmental considerations in developing the intermodal terminal, so we conducted strategic environmental assessment and planning. From our initial task, the scope of our work expanded to include wider sustainability, detailed design, flood and traffic modeling, and eventually led us to assume the Owners Engineer role.
