This Work Included The Following:

• Demolition and excavation of the existing roadway to prepare for new infrastructure.
• Supply and installation of stormwater service infrastructure, including stormwater pipes and pits.
• Construction of concrete aprons along existing roadways and concrete laybacks.
• Construction of in-situ concrete pits and dish drains.
• Construction of new pavement and asphalt roadway.
• Excavation of swales along the roadway to improve drainage.
• Supply and installation of topsoil and turf in surrounding areas and swales along the upgraded roadway.

Civilcraft navigated several key challenges and risks during this complex design and construct project. Careful planning and sequencing ensured smooth progress. By keeping the work footprint to a minimum, tenants were able to continue their operations without disruption. Client-specific considerations and concerns were thoroughly addressed throughout the design process.

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.

Civilcraft was selected based on their status as an RMS Prequalified Contractor which gave the client confidence we could construct the works to the demanding RMS Specifications and not impact traffic operations on the RMS controlled roadway.

Project Components:

• Obtain RMS & Ryde City Council Approvals.
• Implement and maintain traffic and pedestrian management including ROL’s.
• Demolition of existing footpaths, driveways, kerbs & gutters and stormwater pit.
• Construction of a new grated inlet pit over the existing stormwater line.
• Construction of new kerb & gutter and vehicle crossing.
• Construction of new driveways and footpaths.
• Asphalt resurfacing of the kerb side lane & reinstatement of linemarking.

Key Challenges and Risks:

• Working in a live traffic environment while maintaining traffic and pedestrian movements.
• Restricted working hours to satisfy permitted lane closures of clearway.
• Protection of existing RMS assets to be retained.
• Extensive in-ground and overhead services within the works area.

As site access was restricted, Civilcraft developed a methodology to remove waste via a conveyor system. The conveyor would transport the material to a skip bin that would then be taken offsite.

Summary of works:

• Installation of kickboards to avoid any stones or rocks from rolling onto the Cahill Expressway roof structure situation below the work zone.
• The excavation and removal of approximately 130 tonnes of rubble and construction waste from beneath the Bradfield Highway, adjacent to the steel beams.
• The safe removal and disposal of the asbestos cable trays (approximate length of 55m) in accordance with “WorkCover Working with Asbestos 2008” Guidelines.

As a result of these maintenance issues, corrosive damage developed on the bottom rail and anchorage points of the existing handrail. Civilcraft was contracted to install a new prefabricated handrail according to the current Australian Standards and to mitigate any future corrosion on the bottom rail and anchorage points. The total length of the handrail was approximately 40 metres.

The works were staged in 13 phases and carried out at night due to public safety and road closure restrictions during daytime hours. The safety of pedestrians and vehicles was a priority during this project and therefore the Civilcraft team engaged in works during a low activity period.

Summary of works:

• Traffic management for Parramatta Road (East and West bound) and Brown Street.
• Containment of the worksite behind timber hoardings which acted as formwork for the new kerb construction and temporary fencing panels which closed the bridge frequented by pedestrians.
• Removal of existing steel handrails to expose existing concrete edge.
• Hydro demolition of existing concrete edge using high pressure water robotic unit to expose existing reinforcement.
• Construction of new kerb which included shear studs, mesh reinforcement and HD bolts and a B80 32MPa 10mm aggregate low shrinkage concrete.
• Installation of new handrail on kerb with grouting beneath base plates.
• Dismantling of timber panels and temporary fence panels.
