Tod Consulting working on Brisbane's Cross River Rail subway project


Queensland Transport has engaged Engineering consultancy AECOM (fomerly Maunsell) as a partner in their feasibility study for the Cross River Rail. Tod Consulting has been engaged as a subconsultant to AECOM, to be part of the structural engineering team for the study.


The Cross River Rail project is an underground rail subway proposed to run from Yerongpilly (Brisbane's Southside) to Bowen Hills (Brisbane's northside).

Chris Dowding of Tod Consulting is currently on assignment in the Cross River Rail project office in Brisbane, and is developing preliminary structural designs for various parts of the underground stations that are planned in Albert St and Roma St.
Tod Consulting is excited to be part of this landmark project. If the feasibility study is successful, and if funding can be obtained for the project, it will become a sustainable way to commute through the city, and will assist in revitalisation of many of the areas it will serve.
