Our experience includes:

Sydney Metro

Sydney Metro is Australia’s largest infrastructure project at over $80 billion, consisting of 46 stations as well as tunnels and large maintenance and support facilities.  MSA have been the trusted lead advisor and consultant since 2016 providing Building Code and DDA Accessibility technical advice, reporting and certification across every station and part of the project to date.  We’ve supported both Sydney Metro or alternatively supported the delivery teams to build a detailed holistic understanding of the project needs.
