Aubin Grove Station is a new infill transit station south of Perth on the Mandurah line completed in 2017.

Coniglio Ainsworth Architects combined with MPS Architects in a successful joint venture (CAMPS) as the lead design consultant with Brett Priest (MPS Architects) as the Design Manager and Georgiou Group engaged by PTA as the ECI contractor.

CAMPS, PTA and Georgiou worked collaboratively through the design to 85% stage to allow Georgiou to appreciate project requirements, develop construction methodologies, refine the design and agree budget with the PTA. The process provided PTA with the confidence that safety, time and cost were secured before novating CAMPS to Georgiou when awarding the Construction Contract to Georgiou.

The Station is located within the Rail Reserve in the Kwinana Freeway median consisting of an island Platform and concourse over. The station entry buildings link the Western and Eastern car parks to the station platform via a covered pedestrian overpass. The Western entry building houses necessary station services and facilities. Lifts and escalators provide access from the entry buildings to the concourse and onto the station platform.

CAMPS provided a station building design that allowed the Mandurah line and freeway to remain operational during construction and accelerated program while mitigating risk, by;

  • The overpass being structurally independent of the station building

  • The Communications and Electrical Room being independent of the Station Building

  • Box form of the Station Building allowing for off site fabrication

  • All Overpass support structure within the Rail Reserve to be within the platform.

CAMPS worked with the ECI contractor Georgiou Group to develop solutions to construction issues generated from working within an operating environment. For the most part these were temporary works and the utilisations of permanent structure to support temporary structure and the associated Earthing and Bonding.
