CPB Contractors has rolled out a ‘Connection Hubs’ initiative at two local Western Sydney High Schools – Jamison High School and Kingswood High School as part of its delivery of the Sydney Metro – Western Sydney Airport Surface, Civil and Alignment Works (SCAW) project.
The project donated benches to both schools, featuring bespoke tabletop designs that encouraged mental health conversations and included details of support services available to students, which will live on in the community long after construction of the SCAW project is complete. In addition, the project team worked with Headspace Penrith to roll out a series of free mental health workshops for students, guardians and teachers at the two schools, complementing the tables.
SCAW Project Director Vishal Khosla shares that “safety and wellbeing are our highest priority at CPB Contractors, and we’re really pleased we could play a role in encouraging more mental health awareness at local schools. We hope that these benches are the catalyst for more connection and conversation.”
CPB Contractors is delivering the SCAW project in a joint venture with United Infrastructure, a consortium of three Western Sydney-based companies – Burton Contractors, JK Williams and Mulgoa Quarries. The scope of works includes:
- 3.5 kilometres of elevated viaduct at Orchard Hills and Luddenham
- 6.7 kilometres of earthworks for track formation
- A 190-metre long rail bridge over the new M12 motorway
- A 20-metre long rail bridge within the airport
- Temporary and permanent access roads
- Bulk earthworks for the stabling and maintenance facility site.
CPB Contractors has been part of the Sydney Metro journey since the very beginning, proudly helping deliver the largest combined packages of work along the Sydney Metro alignment.
