New Opportunities in Overseas Infrastructure: Anhui heavy and light industries international Co.,Ltd. Analyzes Dublin’s MetroLink Project

Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) has officially announced that a joint venture between AECOM and Jacobs has been selected as the delivery partner for the MetroLink project. This marks the transition of Ireland’s flagship metro project from the planning phase to the stage of preparing for large-scale construction. Ramboll and Nicholas O’Dwyer are serving as technical subcontractors, providing the joint venture with technical support for tunneling and underground engineering.

MetroLink is set to be Ireland’s first fully automated, driverless metro line, with an estimated total investment of €12.6 billion. Spanning approximately 19 kilometers—predominantly via underground tunnels—the line will feature 16 stations connecting Swords, Dublin Airport, and the city center. It will offer a one-way travel time of around 25 minutes and a capacity of 20,000 passengers per hour in each direction, with operations scheduled to begin in the mid-2030s. Rather than utilizing a single EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) contract, the project has been divided into multiple independent packages—such as tunneling and civil works, site preparation, and rolling stock/electromechanical systems—for separate tendering. This approach will generate ongoing demand for tunneling machinery, track equipment, and specialized vehicles, making it the largest public transport infrastructure project in modern Ireland.
