Turner & Townsend has been appointed to support Malaysia’s Singapore to Kuala Lumpur high speed rail project.

The programme management and construction consultant will provide a capital and operational cost model for the project.

The proposed rail link will reduce journeys across the 350km distance between the two cities to one and a half hours.

Duncan Stone, regional managing director at T&T said: “The High Speed Rail link will provide efficient transport for the people of Singapore and Malaysia, significantly contributing to the economic growth of both countries.â€

The firm has previously worked on Crossrail, Qatar Rail and the Northwest Rail Link in Australia.
