Gautrain Rapid Rail Link South Africa

Client Guateng Provincial Government

The Gautrain Rapid Rail Link is a state of the art

dedicated rapid rail line between Johannesburg,

Pretoria and OR Tambo International Airport, a fast

growing region with increasing pressure on existing

transportation infrastructure.

The project’s ten stations are linked by approximately

150 kilometres of rail. Aurecon was awarded Detail Design

Package 6A, the main distinguishing aspect of which is the

Viaduct V5c. This viaduct is the single longest viaduct on

the project, founded on extremely difficult subsoil dolomite

formations and situated in an urban environment.

The Gautrain project is set to play a pivotal role in the

economic development of the Gauteng Province. Aurecon

ensured the longest viaduct on the project met stringent

safety, design and aesthetic requirements. Our bridge,

geotechnical and road experts have helped devise a

cost-effective, efficient and environmentally friendly

transport solution for the most densely developed area

in Gauteng.

Our global success stories

Peninsula Link Australia

Client Abigroup (NZTA)

Peninsula Link is a new four lane 27 kilometre freeway,

incorporating nine interchanges, eight other grade

separations, 27 waterway crossings and a 25 kilometre

shared use path. An Aurecon and Sinclair Knight Merz

Design Joint Venture was appointed as principal design

consultants for the project. Substantial cost savings were

achieved in the main nine span bridge structure by

enabling the area to be reduced by over 30 percent. This

was achieved through the use of traffic modelling software

in the design optimisation of the road geometry.

The team also led a collaborative design process which

reduced impact on an important, environmentally

sensitive flora and fauna reserve, and restored the natural

overland flow regime. This incorporated a fauna

underpass to provide habitat movement beneath the

freeway and allow for the creation of a habitat for a

protected fish species. Importantly, the works were

designed for minimal maintenance intervention, providing

a truly sustainable outcome.


Melbourne Metro Study Australia

Client Victorian Government Department of Transport (DOT)

Aurecon, in association with Mott MacDonald, Sinclair

Knight Merz and Grimshaw Architects, was appointed the

role of lead technical advisors for the development of

concept designs for the Melbourne Metro rail tunnel. The

scope of the study required route and station options to

be identified and evaluated, including preferred route and

station concepts to determine the project scope, risk,

programme and cost estimate.

Key challenges included a complex integration with the

existing network, planning of the underground station in a

congested urban area and connectivity with other modes

of public transport.

Aurecon was responsible for the overall assignment

management, site investigations, traction power,

tunnelling, mined stations, tunnel ventilation, fire and life

safety, track and alignment, signalling and the overall

production of concept development reports.


Novo Rail Australia

Client RailCorp

Novo Rail - an alliance between RailCorp (owner partner

and client), Aurecon, Laing O’Rouke and O’Donnell Griffin

- will deliver an AUD 1 billion infrastructure upgrade

programme of the Sydney rail network over five years.

The alliance partners specialise in designing and

delivering turnkey rail signalling, traction supply and

multidisciplinary projects.

Today’s rapid growth in rail patronage means RailCorp

must accelerate its investment programme to boost

network capacity. The rail signalling and power systems

are being upgraded to allow for the introduction of

Sydney’s new Waratah trains.

A key feature of the delivery model is open-book

transparency. Rigorous systems and processes ensure

the committed and trusting involvement of alliance

partners and RailCorp as client.


SH20 Waterview Connection New Zealand

Client New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA)

Forming part of the Western Ring Route, New Zealand’s

largest transport project, Aurecon was initially

commissioned to prepare the procurement documentation

for a competitive alliance tender, and to undertake a

review of the concept design prepared for the Assessment

of Environmental Effects for the connection tunnels and

interchange package.

Aurecon identified the need to undertake value

engineering work and several design optimisations were

recommended, including reducing the tunnel diameter

size and revising the fire and life safety strategy, resulting

in significant budget savings.

NZTA subsequently engaged Aurecon as their Technical

Advisor during the procurement process. Aurecon is

currently acting as the Owner’s Verifier to the NZTA for

the delivery of the project.

In 2011 the project received a silver award of excellence

at the New Zealand Institute of Surveyors Awards.


Granger Bay Boulevard and Green Point Traffic Circle South Africa

Winner

Award-winning innovation

South African Institute of Civil Engineering Project Awards 2011 Category: Technical Excellence

A novel solution was needed to provide effective access

for vehicles and pedestrians to the Green Point Stadium

and the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront in Cape Town.

Aurecon designed an elevated traffic circle with a

pedestrian plaza underneath it to reduce vehicle and

pedestrian conflict.

Archaeological monitoring was required for all

excavations, due to the historical nature of the site. In

addition, all of the existing road pavement and excavated

materials were recycled and reused.

The works were carried out in a manner which ensured

that all existing traffic flows were unhindered.

Air New Zealand Nelson Hangar New Zealand

Winner


New Zealand Engineering Excellence Awards 2011 Category: Building and Construction

Aurecon was the structural engineer for the hangar, a

large 80 metre by 60 metre free span structural steel

building with a clear height of 9.5 metres and overall

height of 15 metres to the apex.

The roof structure was built on the ground with all

cladding, insulation, lighting, heaters and cabling fitted at

ground level. Following construction of the roof structure,

the roof was jacked up onto concrete columns and the

wall cladding finished. A joint free post-tensioned floor was

then poured inside the closed in hangar.

Aurecon’s solution met the client’s size requirements,

ensured a shorter construction period and allowed for cost

savings due to the simple fabrication.

Gateway Upgrade Project Australia

Winner


Infrastructure Partnerships Australia, National Infrastructure Awards 2011 Category: Project of the Year

The Gateway Upgrade Project involved the refurbishment

of the existing bridge and the construction of a second,

including a dedicated pedestrian and cycleway, the first of

its kind in the world. The project included 12 kilometres of

widening of existing dual carriageway and seven

kilometres of a new six lane carriageway across derelict

and swampy flood plains.

Aurecon undertook the Environmental Impact Statement

and reference design, provided technical advice to the

client during the design and construction management,

procurement and evaluation, and subsequently undertook

design review during delivery.

The project has delivered reduced travel and time and

improved links for business, industry, tourism, cyclists

and pedestrians.

BridgeWorks Alliance – Sydney Harbour Bridge Infrastructure Upgrade Australia

Gold Award of Merit


Consult Australia Awards for Excellence 2011 Category: Transport and Civil

The BridgeWorks Alliance programme to extend the

lifespan of the Sydney Harbour Bridge presented

extensive and diverse project risks and demanded an

uncompromising approach to quality. The bridge is

both a heritage listed global icon and a critical artery in

the Sydney transport network with intensive

stakeholder interest.

As the lead designer on the BridgeWorks Alliance, which

was formed to carry out the strengthening and upgrading

works, Aurecon played a key role in the development of

innovative solutions, implemented in an extremely

constrained environment and with a unique approach to

safety. These included an arch access system that

allowed construction to proceed without any unplanned

delays to stakeholders, as well as the installation of two

underdeck gantries (each the size of an Olympic

swimming pool) for construction access.

Newcastle Coal Infrastructure Group (NCIG) Coal Terminal Australia

Gold Award


Consult Australia Awards for Excellence 2011 Category: Project Management
