Brisbane Metro Depot

The new Brisbane Metro Depot will maintain and operate the initial fleet of 60 fully electric bioarticulated vehicles while incorporating a design that allows for future expansion.

This 12-hectare end of route facility provides advanced metro charging solutions for a cleaner and greener Brisbane, making it one of the largest and most technologically advanced facilities of its kind in
Australia.

Key features of the development include stabling and maintenance facilities for the new fleet of 60 battery electric metros; five end of route Grid e-Motion flash chargers which can recharge a metro in under six minutes, as well as 60 CCS2 plug-in slow chargers,

and body repairs on the metro fleet and capacity to accommodate growth to the fleet in line with future service requirements. Other project highlights include 25 design packages; 20,000m of inground conduit reticulation; 3,500m of RCP stormwater pipework; 36,000 m² of MRTS rigid concrete pavement; 2,000 m² of structural concrete; 600t of structural steel;  and 1MW solar generation.
