Ballarat Western Link Road

• Sub-Heading to project name: BWLR Project
• Business Units: Infrastructure
• Location: Ballarat, Victoria
• Client: City of Ballarat
• Industry Sector: Local Government
• Others Solution: Major Road Projects, Utilities, Plant and Equipment, Surveying, Traffic Management
• Key Achievement :
  • Improved methodology and cost savings. Due to the limited tight working space between the bridge RE walls and the railway, the decision was made to seek a temporary works design that allowed an access gantry to be hung from the column abutments. This decision resulted in a saving on cost in lieu of extensive scaffold hire costs and made the methodology of placing the bridge beams with a single crane in lieu of a dual crane lift possible.
  • Reduced project delivery time. Winslow found opportunities to reduce project delivery time through the construction of the Off-Structure Barrier (OSB) capping beam through two avenues: utilising the verge in lieu of one side of formwork and pre-fabricating the capping beam cages remotely in the project site compound.
  • Successful bridge beam lift. utilising a 280T crawler crane for the lift, Winslow Infrastructure successfully undertook complex operations within the rail corridor, minimising disruption and within the planned occupation constraints.
  • Minimal environmental footprint. the area of works had a population of Growling Grass Frogs which Winslow Infrastructure actively took measures to protect through its construction environment management plan.
  • Community and stakeholder engagement and communications. Winslow collaborated with the City of Ballarat and the Wathaurung Aboriginal Corporation to ensure culturally sensitive sites along the road alignment were respectfully and effectively managed, whilst adhering to numerous environmental protection measures.
  • Complex project management. V/Line required Winslow to demonstrate extensive planning methodology and safe work practices for approval to commence works within the rail corridor. The City of Ballarat, Winslow, V/Line Railway Safety Personnel and Representatives held and attended various workshops to ensure construction activities met the criteria of all stakeholders.

Dohertys Road

• Business Units: Infrastructure
• Location: Laverton North, Victoria
• Client: WBHO Infrastructure Pty Ltd
• Industry Sector: Transport
• Others Solution: Major Road Projects, Utilities, Surveying
• Key Achievement :
  • Complex Project Management. This duplication is considered one of the most difficult brownfield road projects ever undertaken in Melbourne. The site sits among many large-scale businesses with extensive, private utility infrastructure. All excavation along the alignment required service proving that was collated within a 3D BIM model. This facilitated clash detection that was the cornerstone of our permit processes for in-ground and overground works.
  • Service Relocation. Our team worked in the vicinity of the high-pressure Liquide Air pipelines, the 66KB high voltage APA gas transmission line and the heritage-listed Melbourne Outfall Sewer. The 600mm MSCL Western Watermain was relocated to accommodate bridge abutments. Winslow’s dedicated utility team worked through modifications, protections and redesign for 18 months so that the works could be completed safely.
  • Structures. A 60m steel truss bridge with architectural cladding was designed to provide for Federation Trail pedestrian and bicycle traffic over the Dohertys Road alignment. Further to this, a complicated five-span bridge was built within the Princes Freeway alignment, with Winslow nominating pre-cast elements for piers, cross-heads and abutments to minimise impacts between plant, personnel and the travelling public in the constrained environment.
  • Safety. With utilities management being a key risk for the project, a number of safety initiatives were developed on Dohertys Road, including the implementation of overhead gantries for protection of overhead services and improved excavation permit processes.
  • Environment and Sustainability. Winslow focused on recycling of products and natural resources throughout project delivery. This included recycling of piling water for use in dust suppression, as well as capturing and using rainwater for washing down pavements and equipment. Silt basins were constructed to manage the NDD and wastewater from site, with slurry and water treated with a solidification agent then dried out and reused as fill. Excavated rock was crushed for reuse in retaining walls and abutments, and soil was recycled for use in landscaping works. Crushed glass sand was also used instead of using natural resources (river sand) for NDD and subsurface drainage works.

Lathams Road

• Sub-Heading to project name: Part of the South Eastern Roads Upgrade Project
• Business Units: Infrastructure
• Location: Carrum Downs, (Melbourne’s southeast)
• Client: Major Road Projects Victoria (MRPV)
• Industry Sector: State Government
• Others Solution: Major Road Projects, Utilities, Plant and Equipment, Surveying, Traffic Management
• Key Achievement :
  • Utilities relocation. Winslow challenged the reference design on numerous occasions, collaborating with MRPV to achieve significant scope reduction for utilities relocation scope across multiple USP’s. This helped to remove critical path utility relocation works and provide value for money outcomes in redesign.
  • Thinking outside the box. in developing an option to replace the Boggy Creek drain, instead of providing a ‘like for like’ box culvert, Winslow has developed a piped solution that will reduce construction time and minimise disruption to stakeholders.
  • Environmental and sustainability management. The project was certified at an ‘Excellent level’ for its ‘As Built’ Rating from the Infrastructure Sustainability Council. The team also developed, trialed, and implemented several innovations for the industry including Polyrok, a recycled plastic aggregate.

• Key Achievement :
  • Traffic management. Winslow worked with in-house company, Trafman Solutions, to develop and implement complex traffic controls that enabled construction under live traffic on a very busy arterial route.
  • Timing of winter works. Winslow managed the placement of 50,000 tonnes of asphalt during the winter months. Safety management - to address the challenges of working in proximity to high voltage powerlines and piling rigs, Winslow implemented overhead gantries for protection of overhead services and incorporated electromagnetic lockout systems on piling rigs and booms used in the works.
  • Utilities management. improved excavation permit processes and use of 3D imaging technology streamlined delivery of service protection and relocation works. Winslow also managed complex relocation of APA’s high-pressured gas main through the adjacent Federation Trail with 18 months of pre-work and SMS risk workshops leading to success.
