Abstract
- This papers describes the design and construction of two new suburban rail stations in Melbourne, Australia, in a live rail environment. They were collaboratively designed to integrate with their surroundings and enhance the experience of rail travel. Located on existing electrified rail lines, design and construction methods also had to minimise disruption to rail services and the surrounding community. At Cardinia Road, a new 6 m span pedestrian underpass was installed in a single 55 h possession, using an open-cut box-jacking technique not previously used in Victoria. Both stations opened in April 2012. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
