Government Transport Infrastructure Case Study
The Background
- A road and tunnel project spanning across land owned and controlled by three levels of government
- Operating airspace only metres above the alignment
- Federally recognised environmental habitats
- Multiple modes of transport to be considered – road, air, rail and pedestrian
- Difficult groundwater and geotechnical conditions
- A long recognised community need
- Complicated stakeholder environment
- Three layers of approvals legislation permitting and approval
How the Siecap Team Helped
- Technical leadership
- Design management
- Engineering solutions to meet the situational constraints
- Complicated cutting edge transport structures advice
- Future proofing a project with minimal capital spend
- Innovative thinking
- Constructability planning
- Application of global capability to a local problem
Results
- An engineering solution that allowed a successful environmental approval to be achieved
- A practical solution that walked the fine line between various stakeholder wants and needs
- An elegant and innovative mix of at grade highway, tunnel, bridge and preparation for future rail tunnels
- A construction sequence that allowed for an impossibly narrow construction corridor
- A construction methodology that allowed air traffic to continue uninterrupted immediately above the construction site
- Specification of new technology for the Australian Government Transport Infrastructure sector
