Gamuda Engineering has secured the Sydney Metro Stations Package West as principal contractor, covering design and construction of five new underground stations at Westmead, North Strathfield, Burwood North, Five Dock and The Bays on the 24km Sydney Metro West line between Greater Parramatta and the CBD. The scope includes deep station boxes, entrances and access points, full station fit-out and integration with surrounding precincts, with Laing O’Rourke and DT Infrastructure joining as MetroVista delivery partners. Site works are scheduled to start on Monday, 5 January 2026.

Nottingham Forest has submitted new plans to expand the City Ground from 30,445 to about 52,000 seats, replacing last year’s approved but smaller 35,000-capacity scheme focused on rebuilding the Peter Taylor Stand. The revised project team is led by KSS Design Group, with Buro Happold, Gleeds and Savills advising, and owner Evangelos Marinakis committing “significant investment” for a “sustainable and iconic” redevelopment. For civil and structural engineers, the jump to a 52,000-seat bowl signals substantially larger crowd loading, egress, services and transport interface requirements on an already constrained riverside site.

TH White has been appointed authorised Sany Heavy Machinery UK dealer for construction machinery sales, service and parts across the West Midlands and parts of the southwest, replacing Worcester-based forklift specialist MSM DRH after five years. The move plugs Sany’s excavators and other construction machines into TH White’s existing portfolio of Manitou, Mecalac and New Holland equipment plus Palfinger cranes, giving contractors a single supplier for mixed fleets. For plant owners, the key change is access to Sany support through TH White’s established construction-focused sales and service teams.
