RIB Software AG / Key word(s): Contract 27-03- 2014 RIB signs iTWOcx Cloud Cooperation with Salini Impregilo for the Sydney "Skytrain Contract" Stuttgart, Germany, 27 March 2014. Italian construction giant Salini Impregilo (SI), through its local JV (ISJV), has selected RIB iTWOcx Cloud to be the Document Management and Collaboration Platform for the "Skytrain Contract". This is the first phase in what promises to be a strong partnership with the intention that Salini will become a key RIB technology partner. This project is to design and build the "Skytrain" viaduct and other surface construction works of the North West Rail Link in Sydney. iTWOcx Cloud from RIB (formerly known as ProjectCentre) is being used by all those who work on the project and is the Document Management and Project Communication solution. The integration of iTWOcx Cloud to the TfNSW core systems will provide an elegant and user-friendly project collaboration and information sharing platform for the ISJV project. SI are also keen to exploit other capabilities of the iTWO platform. The ISJV contract, worth approximately AU$ 340 million, equivalent to EUR 220 million, will extend over a total distance of approximately 6.2 km and will include a 4.6 km viaduct and a 270m long cable-stayed railway bridge over a major arterial road. The North West Rail Link is Australia's largest public transport infrastructure project currently under construction and the biggest public transport project in Sydney since construction of the world-famous Sydney Harbour Bridge almost one century ago. The NWRL project includes eight new railway stations and 4,000 commuter car parking spaces and is expected to open to customers before the end of 2019. It is Australia's first fully-automated rapid transit rail system and the first stage of a new rapid transit network for Sydney. Thomas Wolf, CEO and Chairman of RIB Software AG says "The partnership with such a high profile and good reputation construction company as SI is both strategically important and very pleasing for RIB ANZ." Sanjay Sivanandan, President of RIB Asia Pacific & Middle East stated "We are deploying all our Global resources to assure that the ISJV initiative is a showcase for the world leading iTWOcx capability. We are pleased iTWOcx is rapidly emerging as the industry best-practice standard."
