The Bankstown Station Upgrade
The Bankstown Station Upgrade was a major project for Degnan and the results speak for themselves. The upgrade provided a greater experience for public transport customers by delivering accessible, modern, secure and integrated transport infrastructure. The upgrade was designed to ensure that the railway station and interchange facilities meet the future growth and transport needs of the Bankstown Local Government Area and the wider Sydney region.
Degnan was engaged by Transport for NSW to design and construct the upgrade, working with stakeholders and consultants on various challenging design aspects throughout the project. The station remained fully operational during construction and Degnan worked within site constraints, managing the complexities of working above a live railway line.
The vastly improved visual impact of the station has created an inviting environment for customers and residents of the area, who can also now enjoy the improvements made to the adjoining public spaces.
Works included:
- installation of two lifts at each end of the existing footbridge
- improved amenities including an ambulant and family accessible toilet
- provision of a formal bus stop, compliant accessible car spaces and a kiss and ride space
- upgrading existing footbridge stairs with new compliant hand-railing, tactile ground surface indicators and nosing to improve the safety of the staircase
- Installation of wayfinding signage and improved CCTV and lighting to increase safety and security.
This project is one of many TAP station upgrades being rolled out by Transport for NSW that we are currently involved with.
