Case Studies

Sydney Metro Tunnelling Package, NSW

Sydney Metro's tunnelling works required compact, custom-engineered fire protection piping with strict tolerances and delivery timelines. Antec Fire delivered both standard components and fully fabricated spools.

Location

Sydney Metro Tunnelling Package, NSW

Client

CPB Contractors & UGL Engineering

Completion

2024

Scope

  • Supply of Victaulic fittings, valves, consumables and tools
  • Fabrication of pipe supports
  • Fabrication of custom-designed pipe spools

Background

CPB Contractors and UGL Engineering required compact, high-performance piping systems for use within Sydney Metro’s underground tunnelling operations.

 

Challenge

Tunnel environments require tight tolerances and non-standard component geometries. Antec Fire was tasked with supplying and fabricating components tailored to the project’s bespoke layout and limited spatial allowances.

 

Solution

We supplied all essential consumables and tooling for on-site installation, while our fabrication team produced custom pipe supports and spools using precise 3D models and CNC-cut components.

 

Implementation

All fabrications were reviewed and approved against digital models and tested for alignment and fit prior to dispatch. On-site delivery was aligned with tunnelling crews' operational timelines.

 

Benefits / Results

  • Custom fabrication reduced on-site labour and adjustments
  • Complete supply package minimised sourcing delays
  • Enhanced project efficiency and installation accuracy

Key take-aways

Detailed planning and custom fabrication are essential in underground metro work. Providing a full supply and fabrication package simplified site operations.

 

Why this project matters for Antec

This project demonstrated Antec’s full-spectrum capability—supplying both standard and customised components while supporting some of Australia’s most complex tunnelling infrastructure.
