Ped X5 Civil Construction

⁠⁠⁠  AT is currently undertaking a Pedestrian Rail Level Crossing Gating Programme, whereby Automatic Gates are being installed at rail level crossings along the Auckland Metro network. This involves changes to the rail signaling system, civil works amendments to the crossing, and then the commissioning of the new system.

These measures will minimize the risk of accidents and incidents on the pedestrian rail crossings across Auckland.

Auckland Transport’s Vision Zero goal is for no deaths or serious injuries on our transport network by 2050.
AT acknowledges that it has a responsibility to provide and maintain appropriate safe access to rail platforms and across rail corridors. The Auckland region contains 31 combined vehicle/pedestrian rail level crossings and 20 pedestrian rail level crossings, the majority of which are on the core networks between Swanson (Western line) and Papakura (Southern line).

Starting in 2017, Auckland Transport’s PT Infrastructure team has been undertaking a safety-critical program of works to gate pedestrian level crossings to reduce the risk of pedestrians being struck by oncoming trains. The project team has so far successfully delivered upgraded pedestrian crossings at 19 sites.

The requirement included within this Procurement Plan includes the civil construction of automatic pedestrian gates at 2 level crossing locations:
1. Glenn Innes Station - Eastern Line
2. Sherrybrooke Place – Northern Line
