This was a $9.5m project for the Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) involving construction of a new bridge, demolition of the existing bridge and construction of approximately 400m of new roadworks approaches. The works were delivered via a Joint Venture with Albem.

Scope of Work

  • Bridge Works
    • Cast-In-Place Piles
    • Bridge Substructure
    • Prestressed Concrete Deck & Kerb Units, with Transverse Stressing
    • Protective Treatments

    Road Works

    • Earthworks
    • Drainage Culverts
    • Subsurface Drainage
    • Protective Treatments
    • Unbound Pavements
    • Sprayed Bituminous Surfacing
    • Road Lighting
    • Landscaping

Notable Aspects

  • The contract was won through an ETI (Early Tenderer Involvement) tender process
  • Coordination of logistics for remote works
  • Construction of a piling-rig access platform across the Maranoa River bed, including installation of low flow culverts
  • Value engineering options identified by the JV included the following adopted measures:
    • SGQ / Albem were very proactive in the ETI process to determine the most efficient design – including removal of pile-caps and substitution with larger piles that transitioned into columns, straight up into headstocks
    • By agreement, works commenced without finalised 100% documentation, to expedite works
