Melbourne Metro
The Metro Tunnel will create a new end-to-end rail line from Sunbury in the west to Cranbourne/Pakenham in the south-east, with high capacity trains and five new underground stations.
The project scope includes
Twin nine-kilometre rail tunnels from the west of the city to the south-east as part of a new Sunbury to Cranbourne/Pakenham line.
Five new underground stations: Arden Station, Parkville (under Grattan Street), State Library (at the northern end of Swanston Street), Town Hall (at the southern end of Swanston Street) and Anzac (under the Domain Interchange on St Kilda Road). The two stations under Swanston Street will be directly connected to the City Loop at Melbourne Central and Flinders Street Station.
Train / tram interchange between Anzac Station and the Domain Interchange.
Joachim contributed to the project as a technical advisor to RPV. He also led the architecture and urban design team of the Continuum Consortium in the bid phase of the project.
