McIlwain was awarded the $7.1M Design & Construct contract with Transurban Queensland in January 2017 off the back of the successful completion of the Logan Motorway Pavement Reification Project Phase Two.

 

PROJECT OVERVIEW

Removal of Existing Barriers 
3,644m & 13,960m2 of New Noise Barrier 
Up to 32,000 VPD on average per year 
3,644m2 Clearing & Grubbing 
5,314m2 Landscaping & Revegetation

 

Whilst the contract consisted of predominantly Noise Barrier Subcontract works, the traffic management and planning was of critical importance to ensure the success of the Project. With over 32,000 Vehicles per Day on average, it was essential to ensure the Traffic Management Plan, Traffic Guidance Schemes and Risk Assessments were clear, concise and effective, but above all implemented effectively.

Constant organization and meetings were required to ensure the team was aware of their duties and responsibilities.With half of the works having to be carried out at night under lane closures to minimize traffic delays. Community liaison is a key aspect for the project as three of the noise barriers replace existing property boundary fences to local residents. 

The interaction with other Contractors was critical given concurrent works in close proximity and often overlapping TGS’s.A thorough Interface Management Plan was developed to ensure this process was managed effectively and ran smoothly.

A one day relationship workshop was held between Transurban and McIlwain Civil prior to works commencing to align the teams on the two projects and develop key ingredients for collaboration thus ensuring the success of the Projects. 

The project was successful delivered on time in March 2018.
