The French New Zealand Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FNZCCI) Building & Infrastructure Committee would like to invite you to a site visit of the Mt Eden City Rail Link Station.

This is an opportunity to view New Zealand’s largest transport infrastructure project with an exclusive presentation and tour for the FNZCCI community.

The Link Alliance is a consortium of seven companies from New Zealand and around the world. They’ve been working together since mid-2019 to design, build and fit out the main stations and tunnels for Auckland’s CRL project – a $5.5 billion dollar metro rail project that will be a gamechanger for how we move around the city. They’re a culturally diverse team of around 2,000 people working across four inner city station construction sites – Maungawhau (Mt Eden), Karanga-a-Hape, Te Waihorotiu and Waitematā Station (Britomart), (3.45-kilometre-long tunnels, built up 42 metres below Auckland city centre).

What to expect?
