Access Planning & Permits

Sterling coordinates access approvals and permitting for infrastructure projects within rail corridors, managing stakeholder liaison with rail operators (Metro Trains Melbourne, V/Line, ARTC), regulatory compliance pathways, and technical interface requirements. Our capability encompasses access application preparation, operational constraint identification, and coordination through approval processes.

Rail corridor access requires proof engineering documentation, operational safety analysis, and coordination with multiple stakeholders including train control, signaling, overhead wiring, and track maintenance teams. Sterling has recently coordinated access approvals for 20 telecommunications undertrack bore projects across Melbourne Metro rail corridor, demonstrating capability to navigate complex approval pathways while maintaining operational safety requirements.

Sterling's integrated service model links access planning with proof engineering, construction supervision, and interface management, ensuring approved works proceed within agreed constraints and deliver compliant infrastructure outcomes.
