Projects as completed for

   
Monash Interchange:
The showpiece of EastLink. This impressive intersection links the Monash Freeway and EastLink through an intricate series of steel and precast concrete ramps and bridges. The interchange required the placement of 321 bridge beams and the removal of 850,000 cubic metres of earth.

The Monash flyover or steel box girder bridge stands 19 metres (more than 5 storeys) above Eastlink.

This was one of the largest projects undertaken by our company and involved over 2 years of work for 22 members of staff at its busiest.

 

                  
Deer Park Bypass:
The Deer Park Bypass features four lanes and four major interchanges over its 10 km length and opened to traffic in early 2009 - 6 months ahead of schedule. The project heavily utilized machine control guidance systems on numerous graders, dozers and excavators. The automatic guidance mode eliminated operator error and the need for re work. Several guidance system manufacturers were used making the job of supporting and managing the systems for our survey team all the more challenging.

Westkon Precast Yard:
The new facility in Melton produces super tee beams, culverts and feature noise walls. This new yard will substantially increase Westkon's  production capacity.

Our scope of works included the survey for the bulk earthworks excavation of the site. The setout of hundreds of piles as well as the rail beams for the massive overhead cranes.

 

         

Geelong Road:
The project included the construction of 8 Bridges, the increase of 36 kilometres of dual lane to a 3 lane freeway. Also, resurfacing and widening the 14 kilometre section between Werribee to the Western Ring Road to 4 lanes. The Geelong Road project utilised one of the very first grader machine control systems to be used on a construction job in Victoria.

 

         
   
Royal Melbourne Hospital:
Provided survey for the construction of two new buildings and a major series of internal refurbishments in the hospital. Work was undertaken while normal hospital operations continued  A major challenge was the lack of work area to perform the required surveying tasks.

 

         
Coode Island
Provided survey for Melbourne's new hazardous chemicals storage facility, thankfully equipped with some of the world’s most sophisticated safety and
environmental safeguards.  Located in the heart of Australia’s busiest docklands and yet only 500 metres from a densely
populated residential area. Provided setout for pipelines, concrete bunds, associated roadworks, pressurised, heated and insulated storage tanks. The 11 tanks range in volume from 0.8 megalitres to 5.3 megalitres; the latter having a diameter and a
height of 20 metres.

 

      
Spencer Street Station
 Provided surveying asbuilts of the new stations main roof trusses. Weighing up to 30 tonnes, the trusses were checked at their fabrication sites in Geelong and Launceston. Each truss was transported by barge. Placement was a delicate manoeuvre and
had to be undertaken under
relatively calm weather
conditions. Also, work could not start until the station closed and had to be completed prior to the first morning train. Consequently a important part of the process was our task of verifying that each truss was as per design.
