Southern Road Connection
Projects Southern Road Connection
Road works and bridge construction on Reconciliation Road and the Parramatta to Liverpool Transit way (PTL) associated with the redevelopment of the old Prospect Quarry.
The PLT, bridge and road construction was carried out adjacent to fragile Sydney Water assets where onerous vibration restrictions were placed on works in the area to mitigate risk of damage to critical infrastructure.
Highlights
- Project required significant planning and co- ordination owing to the fact that within the scope of works boundaries were 3 separate certifying bodies: Roads and Maritime Services (RTA at the time) for the PLT, Holroyd City Council to the north of the PLT and Blacktown City Council to the south. All works were completed and certified to the varying specifications within program and budget.
- Construction of 2 mid-bridge headstocks with bored cast in-situ piles within the floodplain of Prospect Creek with no environmental impacts or incidents.
- Co-ordination and installation of 74 off bridge beams using a 350 ton mobile crane on three separate constructed crane pads to program and budget.
- Access into the Sydney Water corridor is very strict and Robson had to ensure Sydney Water had confidence in Robson to not cause damage to the pipelines.
