The Rail Operating Centre (ROC) in Alexandria is a state-of-the-art facility designed to centralise and manage Sydney’s rail network operations. Completed in 2019 at a value of around $200 million, the five-level building provides resilient infrastructure to support the city’s transport system.

Rail Operation Centre

The project required highly integrated design and coordination of services, including high and low voltage power systems, water, sewer, gas, stormwater, and advanced fire and security systems.

Key works included the development of high voltage chambers, main switchboards, transformers, and the spatial planning of all mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, civil and structural systems. Combining robust engineering with a secure workplace environment, the facility ensures operational continuity for Sydney Trains and sets a new benchmark for critical transport infrastructure.
