The ALUA consortium, in which our patron participates, receives the 2025 WA Earth Award and will compete nationally as Western Australian champion
The Victoria Park-Canning Level Crossing Removal project in Perth, Western Australia, being developed by our employer Acciona as part of the Armadale Line Upgrade Alliance (ALUA) consortium, has been recognized with the CCF WA Earth Award 2025, achieving the first "Gold" design rating under the Infrastructure Sustainability Council's v2.1 scheme.
The Earth Award 2025, presented by the Civil Contractors Federation of Western Australia, celebrates excellence in civil construction across nine categories. Acciona's project was recognized in the category of projects valued at over $150 million, and the award highlights the scale and complexity of the work undertaken.
Winning this award means the project is shortlisted for the National Earth Awards, which will be announced in Canberra on November 28.
Furthermore, this project was the first in Australia to receive a "Gold" design rating under the ISC v2.1 scheme, with a score of 73.6. This rating is due, among other innovations, to the world-first use of delithiated beta-spodumene (DBS), a lithium byproduct, as fill material. This provides a new use for landfill waste. Furthermore, this project used rubber-tyred gantry cranes for the first time in Western Australia.
The Victoria Park-Canning Level Crossing Removal Project is Perth's first major elevated railway, improving safety, connectivity, and accessibility for the surrounding communities. The ALUA consortium is comprised of Acciona, BMD Group, WSP, AECOM, and the Public Transport Authority. The project continues to set new standards in infrastructure construction, combining technical excellence with sustainable outcomes.
