Northern Ireland’s Translink has awarded the delivery partner contract to global design, engineering and management consulting company Arcadis to create a new integrated public transport hub in the heart of Belfast, Northern Ireland.

Set to be located on the site of the Europa Bus Centre and Great Victoria Street Train Station, the Belfast Hub will provide a gateway for the city and link it to national and international markets.

It is also expected to create new jobs and investment opportunities.

Under the terms of the contract, Arcadis will provide project management, commercial management and site supervision for the enabling and main works.

Throughout the project's lifecycle, the company will also offer strategic advice in terms of procurement strategy along with design and engineering input such as building information modelling (BIM).

"A new station quarter, public areas and a large section of potential retail and office space will be added."

Arcadis Ireland country lead Dennis Geary said: “The people of Northern Ireland are set to benefit from increased infrastructure investment over the coming years, as the government seeks to make the country more productive and more attractive to investors.
