Project Overview

The project involved the replacement of existing bridge joints and rectification of road pavements at arterial road bridges within the ACT catchment. There were four locations in the core contract, located on; Parkes Way, Tuggeranong Parkway, Mirrabei Drive and Isabella Drive. An additional six locations were added as a variation to the contract on the basis of the time performance and quality of workmanship delivered during the core works. A major component of works were the bridge joint and road pavement resurfacing at Parkes Way east. The works were staged under multiple traffic management arrangements, delivered during off-peak lane closures and night time full road closure. Heavy duty road pavement was placed to depths of 165mm in corrective and wearing coursed to stringent design conformance requirements.

Complex implemented a number of innovative safety initiatives during the project, fitting mobile lasers to plant to signify exclusion zones and providing workers with illuminated LED Hi-vis clothing and hard hats.

Complex completed the core contract works 2 weeks in advance of the proposed completion date, and all works without any major safety, quality or environmental non-conformances.
