項目包括南非康鐵快線設于康登省的比勒陀利亞、盛百利和米德蘭三大車站的細部設計。三個車站已于2010年投入服務。康鐵快線劃分為兩條線，一條貫穿比勒陀利亞與約翰內斯堡，另一條貫穿約翰內斯堡國際機場（JIA）與桑頓。康鐵快線是南非主要基礎建設之一，大大緩解主要城際公路擠擁的交通情況，并在2010年舉行世界杯期間為蜂擁而至的游客提供了方便的交通服務。

盛百利站是康鐵快線南北線的中轉站，位于比勒陀利亞站和米德蘭站之間，連系北部主要住宅區、南部商業區，以及盛百利公園及超級運動公園等東南部休閑設施。

盛百利站是地面車站，月臺與車軌都建于架高結構。車站大廳、操作室和技術室均設于地面層。兩層之間以自動扶梯、樓梯和電梯連接。車站又采用側式站臺，車軌并排而鋪，盡力縮減月臺后架高結構的寬度。站臺兩側對流，自然通風，而車站大堂和操作室則安裝空氣調節系統。月臺和車站核心筒鋪蓋弧形金屬頂棚，以作防風擋雨。頂棚連綿、雙曲的形態賦予整個車站獨特個性。

米德蘭站是康鐵快線南北線的中轉站，位于盛百利站和萬寶路站之間，服務往返博爾德中心等多個主要商業區及比勒陀利亞主干道與教堂街沿線多個商業區的乘客，未來更將連接附近未開發地區多個具潛力的商業建筑及約翰內斯堡的中央機場。

車站緊靠舊比勒陀利亞主干道（K101）和中央大道的交匯處，西接舊比勒陀利亞主干道，南接中央大道的擬建延伸區，東接中央機場，北接未開發土地。往返車站的列車途經即將延伸至機場的中央大道。

康鐵快線比勒陀利亞站座落于市內主要交通網絡核心，連系南非鐵路（SAR）終點站、藍色火車終點站和國家巴士站，預計每日換車中轉人次高達23,000，促使比勒陀利亞站成為南非比勒陀利亞行政首府的地標門坎。設計主要考慮引入方便行人的流線系統，不僅使乘客可以輕松地從一個車站到達另一個車站，同時也可讓本地居民和游客欣賞沿途歷史名勝。

車站環伺多座偉大而重要的古跡，當中包括現為南非鐵路主樓的赫伯特·貝克爵士大樓及其建于1910年的園林前院、早于1928年落成而現為車站附屬設施的審計大樓、建于1896年的NZASM印刷鋪以及建于1904至1910年間的南非客車清洗棚。

比勒陀利亞站為地面車站，采用單島式月臺。月臺兩側對流，可自然通風，而車站大堂和操作室則安裝空氣調節系統。月臺和車站核心筒鋪蓋弧形金屬頂棚，以作防風擋雨。頂棚連綿、雙曲的形態賦予整個車站獨特個性。

This project consists of the detailed design of three stations in Gauteng Province in South Africa at Pretoria,Centurion and Midrand along the new Gautrain Rapid Rail. This will be operational by 2010. The rail connection consists of two links, one between Pretoria and Johannesburg, as well as a link between Johannesburg International Airport (JIA)and Sandton. This major piece of strategic infrastructure relieves the heavy road traff c on major intercity highways and has served the inf ux of visitor expected at the next World Cup.

Centurion Station is an intermediate station along the north-south line of the Gautrain Rapid Rail Link (RRL)and is situated between Pretoria Station and Midrand Station. The Station will serve major residential developments to the north, commercial developments to the south and recreational developments such as Centurion Park and Super Sport Park to the southeast.

Centurion Station is an above ground station with platforms and tracks located on a viaduct structure. Station concourse, operational rooms and technical rooms are located at ground level. Connection between the two levels is made via escalators, stairs and lifts. Side platforms are adopted for this station with the tracks placed side by side to minimize the viaduct width beyond the platform. Platforms are naturally ventilated from both sides while the concourse and operational rooms are air conditioned. A curved metal canopy hovers over the platforms and circulation cores to provide weather protection. The continuity and double curvature of the canopy prof le contributes to the overall station identity.

Midrand Station is an intermediate station on the North - South Service Line of the Gautrain Rapid Rail Link (RRL)and is situated between Centurion Station and Marlboro Station. The station serves passengers traveling to and from major commercial development areas such as Boulder Centre and those along Pretoria Main Road and Church Street. Future catchment areas include potential commercial developments on the adjacent undeveloped sites and Grand Central Airport.

The site abuts the intersection of Old Pretoria Main Road( K101)and Grand Central Avenue. It is bounded by Old Pretoria Main Road on the west, proposed extension of Grand Central Avenue to the south, Grand Central Airport to the east and undeveloped land on the north. V ehicular access to and from the station is via Grand Central Avenue which is to be further extended to serve the airport.

Gautrain Pretoria Station is located in the heart of a major transportation network that includes the South Africa Railway (SAR)Terminus, Blue Train Terminus and the National Bus Station. With an estimated 23 000 train passengers interchanging between stations on a daily basis, Pretoria Station Precinct has potential to become the symbolic gateway to this administrative capital of South Africa. One of the major design considerations will be to introduce a pedestrian friendly circulation system that not only gets people eff ciently from one station to another but also allow opportunities for locals and tourists alike to appreciate the historical surroundings.

The site is surrounded by buildings of great historical signif cance. These include the Sir Herbert Baker Building (SAR Main Building)and its landscaped forecourt built in 1910, Audit Building completed in 1928(currently the Station Annex), NZASM Printing Store built in 1896 and the SAR Coach W ashing Shed built between 1904 -1910.

Pretoria Station is an on grade station with a single island platform. The platform is naturally ventilated from both sides while the concourse and operational rooms are air conditioned. A curved metal canopy protects the platforms and circulation cores. The continuity and double curvature of the canopy pro f le contributes to the overall station identity.
