Leading global firm, Fulton Hogan Egis, has been awarded the 30-year Asset Management contract for the M6 Stage 1 Motorway by Transport for NSW (TfNSW).

Over the course of the contract, Fulton Hogan Egis will manage all aspects of the asset to maximise whole-of-life outcomes and provide commuters with safe, reliable access and improved connectivity to Sydney’s south.

The M6 is part of the 40-year vision of the NSW Government for transport outcomes in NSW. Stage 1 of the motorway will consist of twin road tunnels, approximately four kilometres in length, linking the M8 Motorway at Arncliffe to President Avenue in Kogarah.

“Our team is proud to be entrusted with the responsibility of managing the M6 Stage 1 Motorway”, shared Alex Yee, CEO of Egis ANZ. “This project is about more than building roads; it’s about connecting people with their family, workplace and day-to-day lives. The M6 represents a significant investment in the future of Sydney's transportation infrastructure. The dual model deployed by TfNSW, aligns with Egis’ unique end-to-end offering, linking asset management consultancy skills with the safe operations of the motorway.”

Fulton Hogan Egis will develop systems and collaborate with key project stakeholders to ensure readiness to commence asset management services when the M6 Stage 1 opens.
