ILC at Enfield Update

Leading consulting firm Maunsell has been appointed as design consultants for the $150 million Intermodal Logistics Centre (ILC) at Enfield Project.

The appointment of a Design and Technical Advisory Services adviser is an important milestone in the delivery of Sydney Ports Corporation's ILC at Enfield project.

Due to be completed in 2011, Enfield will become part of an integrated network of existing and planned intermodal facilities in greater Sydney.

This project is currently the largest fit-for-purpose facility of its kind in Australia and is integral to the efficient running of an expanded Port Botany.

The specialised design will contribute towards the NSW Government’s objective to achieve 40% rail mode share of containers to and from Port Botany.

Once the base infrastructure works are completed, which is equivalent to a land subdivision, tenants will be invited to take possession of their premises so that they can construct their above ground facilities.

The base infrastructure works will cater for a new 12 hectare intermodal terminal, 8 hectares of new empty container storage areas; new warehouse distribution areas of 52,500 sqm floor area and 4 hectares of new light industrial/commercial areas.

The detailed design program is expected to be completed in June 2009.

In addition, Coffey Environment and Enviropacific have recently been appointed as demolition and remediation consultants.

Sydney Ports Corporation is calling for tenants and operators to register their interest in the 60 hectare Intermodal Logistics Centre at Enfield, incorporating:

• Intermodal Terminal
• Empty Container Storage
• Distribution Centres/ Warehouses
