PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure
COST
$291,000,000
CLIENT
A 5.7km extension of the dual track line from Noarlunga Centre Railway Station to the Seaford District Line. Including a 1.2km elevated rail bridge (dual ended, incrementally launched concrete box structure) over the Onkaparinga Valley, bus interchange, stations and road bridges.
PROJECT DELIVERABLES
Construction Methodology-
The Seaford Road Bridge was constructed in two stages, with the bridge constructed in two halves (slab design/pavement design), for efficient traffic conditions.
Collaborative Design-
The team defined engineering practices which were followed by the team. By getting the basic right ensured that the project ran successfully without deterring budget and quality.
Value for Money-
Majority of the corridor included cuts to depths of 8-10 meters therefore effective corrosion control measures were investigated to save future works/repair costs.
Environment-
There were several discoveries of Aboriginal Burials within the site therefore the aboriginal community was engaged and with constant communication work was conducted.
