In the role as a Tunnel Expert, AIC was awarded in April 2003 to be the Technical Adviser for The Parramatta Rail Link Company during the construction period.

The PRL will be a new 28 kilometre railway linking Parramatta and Chatswood via Epping with most of the route to be underground.

The NSW Government has committed $ 1.62 billion to commence construction, with a planned completion for the Epping to Chatswood section by mid 2008. This link will add four new stations to the City Rail network and enable the upgrading of seven existing stations, including a new $100 million transport interchange at Parramatta.

The Parramatta Rail Link will generate 11.6 million new trips to the City Rail network, or attract approximately 20,000 new rail passengers a day, in its first full year of operation (2011).

The project is a major investment in public transport by the NSW Government to increase the long-term capacity of the Sydney metropolitan rail system.
