Scope of works included:

• Installation of stormwater infrastructure, including precast pits, pipework, and a Enviro OE30 oily water separation system to manage runoff from the refuelling area.
• Excavation and construction of heavy-duty asphalt pavement, designed to accommodate refuelling vehicles and a wide variety of aircraft movements.
• Construction of reinforced concrete slabs and edge beams to support the modular fuel storage and dispensing units supplied by IOR.
• Installation of concrete containment elements, including a flush kerb perimeter around the facility to provide structural definition and manage surface flows.
• Construction of pavement layers comprising select fill, roadbase, primer seal and asphalt to create a durable apron suitable for aircraft and refuelling vehicles.
• Reinstatement of new and existing airside linemarking in accordance with CASA regulations and apron layout requirements.
• Reshaping and stabilisation of perimeter batters, including topsoiling and turfing to restore the surrounding landscape and ensure long-term erosion control.
• Specialised crane lifting operations for placement of precast stormwater assets and modular fuel units, executed under strict airside safety control

Despite the complexities of working within an operational airport environment, Civilcraft successfully managed all risks and constraints through close coordination with Aeria Management Group, ensuring strict adherence to WHS, environmental, and quality protocols.

Key challenges and achievements included:

• Managing works within an active airside environment, including close coordination with AMG to maintain safe access around live taxiways, aprons, and the runway.
• Maintaining operational continuity for existing tenants and aviation service providers, including the NSW Rural Fire Service, through staged works and effective communication.
• Overcoming geotechnical issues, notably high groundwater levels that influenced excavation sequencing, dewatering requirements, and foundation preparation.
• Executing high-risk lifting activities for both stormwater infrastructure and the modular fuel facility, requiring precise planning, exclusion zones, and strict WHS oversight.
• Achieving zero lost-time incidents, demonstrating strong adherence to Civilcraft’s Integrated Management System (IMS) and commitment to safety, quality, and environmental performance.

The works were undertaken in six stages to ensure uninterrupted access and continuity of operations for Qantas and DNATA staff. Stages 1 and 2 formed the initial phase, focusing on the most critical and high-traffic sections of the facility. These stages involved resurfacing, repainting, and the installation of new safety features in accordance with Qantas property standards and airport operational requirements. Stages 3 to 6 was the construction of a new road as the previous access to the upper campus would no longer be accessible and a new entry via Kent Road was built as part of this upgrade.

The project was successfully completed under Civilcraft’s Integrated Management System (IMS), achieving all safety, quality, and environmental objectives without any incidents.

This work included the following:

• Site establishment and implementation of delineation devices and temporary traffic management.
• Milling and re-sheeting of the existing asphaltic concrete pavement with AC10 Wearing Course.
• Design and construction of new road pavement, kerbs, footpaths and retaining wall.
• New drainage lines, pits and upgrades to the existing GPT units.
• Repainting of block walls and concrete columns for improved visibility and presentation.
• Reinstatement of line marking and numbering throughout each completed zone.
• Installation of new bollards, wheel stops, and speed humps for traffic safety.
• Instalation of new boom and access control systems inclusive of CCTV Cameras.
• Installation of streetscape furniture and custom built bus encolosed bus shelters.
• Environmental controls, dust suppression, and disposal of milled material to licensed facilities.

Despite the challenges of delivering works within an operational airport environment, Civilcraft successfully managed risks and constraints through careful staging, close coordination with Qantas, and strong adherence to WHS and quality protocols.

Civilcraft successfully navigated several key challenges and risks:

• Managing night works to comply with lighting, noise, and access restrictions.
• Maintaining continuous vehicle and pedestrian access for Qantas Buses on the main alignment and DNATA operations.
• Coordinating with multiple stakeholders including Qantas Property, DNATA, and airport security.
• Implementing strict WHS and fatigue management systems under the Qantas Site Management Plan.
• Achieving zero lost-time incidents across all stages of delivery.
