Every bridge project is individual.Variations in complexity and scopedemand a clear focus on client needsand a flexible manner to projectdesign and delivery. With that kind ofapproach, Abergeldie has been buildingbridges to connect communities forover two decades. Some of our successful, recent constructions have met the need to support expanding communities: Shone Ave Realignment Projects 1 and 2 significantly improve access to Horsley and planned residential expansion in the West Dapto development area.

The Schofields Road project upgrades a 2.1 km stretch of the road, between its intersections of Windsor Road at Rouse Hill and Tallawong Road at Schofields in western Sydney, replacing the existing two lane road and creek crossing with a four lane dual carriageway and two new, 32.5m long twin span road bridges.

BRIDGES & ROADS Links that improve community interaction and safety

Shone Ave Realignment Stage 1 (Horsley, NSW): demolition of the existing single lane road bridge and construction of a new two lane, triple span bridge and approach road.

Finalist: NSW CCF Earth Awards Category 3, 2014

Schofields Road Upgrade (Western Sydney, NSW): duplication of a 2.1 km section of Schofields Road and construction of twin, multi-span road bridges.

Winner: RMS Quality Construction Award, 2014

Water storage for sustainable, drought-proof communities

With more than 10 years of experience in dam works such as zoned earth embankments, remediation works and vast concrete structures, Abergeldie can deliver on all aspects of water storage projects. Our complete construction packages include detailed design, procurement, construction, testing, installation and commissioning.

An award-winning example of our work is the Burrinjuck Dam Access Upgrade for State Water. To install the triple-section steel-trussed bridge over the spillway, innovative design and construction methodology was used throughout the project. Our team overcame challenges that included the isolated location of the site, high winds limiting the use of the cableway and the ‘less than expected’ lifting capacity of the existing cableway to safely and successfully complete the project.

DAMS

Grahamstown Dam Spillway and Embankment (Newcastle, NSW): new flood release control structure, zig zag concrete spillway and zoned earth embankment to increase water storage capacity in the Newcastle and Lake Macquarie regions.

Winner: NSW CCF Earth Award Category 3, 2006 Winner: Engineering Excellence Awards, Overall Winner, 2006

Burrinjuck Dam Access Upgrade (Yass, NSW): design, procurement, fabrication, installation, construction, testing and commissioning of a new steel trussed bridge for alternative access across the southern spillway from the dam parapet to the heritage listed onsite cableway’s tail tower, and new steel trussed tower stairs and platforms to improve access from the parapet wall down to the north and south spillway trainer walls.

Winner: NSW CCF Earth Awards Category 2, 2013Highly Commended: NSW AWA Awards, 2013Finalist: Engineering Excellence Awards, Infrastructure Projects Category, Sydney Division, 2014

Flood Damage Remediation (South East QLD): reconstruction and improvements to structures immediately below and adjacent to the spillways of three potable water dams at Somerset, Wivenhoe and Borumba to repair damage caused by the early 2011 Brisbane River floods. Works involved construction of retaining walls, bank and bed stabilisation by earthworks, placement of rip rap and access road repairs.

Wivenhoe Dam Spillway Remediation (South East QLD): slope stabilising with rock anchors and shotcrete. The project required an access road to be built in a precarious location on a mid-level bench above the river and below the lookout to the dam.

0605

Chichester Dam (Newcastle, NSW): remedial works to increase the safety of the dam wall while maintaining the storage and operational capacity of the dam. Works included raising the height of the left parapet wall, drilling a network of pressure relieving drainage holes and reconfiguring the right parapet to divert water flows.

RAIL & TRANSPORT RECREATION

Abergeldie helps local councils, utility providers, road authorities and sporting groups to create a broad range of recreational infrastructure such as boardwalks, viewing platforms for tourists and temporary facilities for major spectator events. The scale, scope and complexity of these projects vary greatly, highlighting Abergeldie’s dynamic and flexible approach to meeting the needs of individual clients.

Telstra Sydney 500 V8 Supercar Track (Sydney, NSW): annual installation of temporary bridges, barriers and fences, and modifications to the roads around Sydney Olympic Park to enable the staging of the Telstra Sydney 500. All works are carried out in a short timeframe and with tight tolerances. Abergeldie provides any maintenance of the infrastructure needed during the three day event and upon the event conclusion remove all track infrastructure and return Sydney Olympic Park to its original state.

Winner: V8 Most Successful Event, 2010Finalist: NSW CCF Earth Award Category 2, 2013

Abergeldie’s complex rail project capabilities include earthworks, rock cutting and embankments, bridges, and complete railway station upgrades including stair and lift installations. Typical of our work was the Erskineville Rail Bridge project for Railcorp (NSW). The demolition of an old brick-arched bridge and construction of new road and pedestrian access over a six track live line in inner city Sydney required expert design, construction, safety and traffic management.

In recent years, Abergeldie has delivered several projects to improve bus transport infrastructure in the ACT and QLD, including construction of new bus interchange control buildings and passenger facilities. On the rail network in NSW, Abergeldie is contracted to design and construct upgrades to parking and pedestrian access facilities for commuters at multiple Sydney and regional railway stations under the Transport for NSW Rail Access Program.

Lennox Bridge Portals (Parramatta, NSW): construction of two access portals through the abutments of the State Heritage listed Lennox Bridge over the Parramatta River to allow pedestrians and cyclists to travel safely along the river banks. Signage and displays within the portals tell some of the history of the original early 19th Century structure. Before the project, the bridge was known to have two distinct sections; one built 1839 and the other (which widened the bridge) built in 1935. During construction of the portals, archaeological excavation works revealed the presence of a third wall beneath the Church Street road surface, a remnant of the old ‘Gaol Bridge’ that crossed the river before the Lennox Bridge was constructed on the same site. Artefacts, including a pier from the old ‘Gaol Bridge’, were researched and conserved by qualified archaeologists during construction works. Research confirmed that the old ‘Gaol Bridge’ dates from 1802-1806 making it the oldest in Australia.

Erskineville Rail Bridge (Sydney, NSW): a complex project to demolish a 100 year old bridge and replace it with a new link assembled from components fabricated off-site. The new bridge was constructed while carrying out a staged demolition of the old structure, with minimal impact on normal pedestrian, road and rail movements during the process.

Winner: NSW and National CCF Earth Award Category 2, 2009

Mitchelton Railway Station (Brisbane, QLD): significant upgrading of existing commuter station facilities to achieve DDA compliance. The railway line and station remained fully operational throughout the works, which included demolition and construction of the footbridge, stairs and installation of lifts.

More efficient infrastructure for commuting between and within communities

Facilities that bring people together, promote healthy lifestyles and build stronger communities

Western Creek Bridge (Milton, QLD): demolition and removal of an existing timber structure and design and construction of a new, wider bridge for cyclists using the Bicentennial Bikeway at Coronation Drive, Milton.

Glenbrook At-Grade Car Park (Blue Mountains, NSW): one of several upgrades to railway station commuter car parks under the NSW Government’s Transport Access Program. Scope includes provision of more car parking spaces, improvements to footpaths, security and safety.

Bus Facilities Upgrade (Gungahlin , ACT): upgrading of four bus stops along Hibberson Street and the construction of two driver amenities buildings. The works also included construction of bus layovers along Anthony Rolfe Avenue and Kate Crace Street, including landscaping and upgrade of street lighting at each site.

VENTILATION SHAFTS

Abergeldie is a world leader in safe mining infrastructure provision.

Abergeldie’s work in the mining sector began when John Zeni and Mick Boyle established Ardent Underground Pty Ltd in 2001. This company was fully acquired by Abergeldie Complex Infrastructure in 2007.

Our ability to provide a faster, safer and more reliable way of boring large diameter shafts for access, ventilation and foundations has been well-proven in the successful completion of blind bored ventilation shafts for clients like BHP Billiton, North Goonyella Coal and Springvale Coal.

Our drill rigs use innovative technology and set a benchmark for mechanised shaft excavation. Their drilling capabilities range from 1.5m to 6.5m diameter and up to 700m deep. Our methods and equipment are particularly effective through difficult ground conditions including fractured strata, high pressure aquifers and deep hard rock. Shafts can be built without interruption to mine production.

Safety is a paramount concern. Abergeldie can provide a high quality lined shaft without any personnel having to work inside the shaft during construction, making blind boring the safest method of shaft construction.

As well as shaft drilling and lining, Abergeldie can provide a broad range of mining infrastructure services, including horizontal tunnelling, civil and building construction and process engineering for water treatment.

Abergeldie efficiently constructs horizontal pipe-jacked tunnels as well as conventional tunnels.

The Abergeldie Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) fleet caters for a broad range of geological conditions from soft ground Earth Pressure Balance Machines (EPBMs), to mixed ground slurry machines capable of tunnelling through running sand and hard rock or gripper/main beam TBMs for hard rock conditions.

Our fleet of TBMs allows pipe-jacked tunnels with internal diameters ranging from 400mm - 3000mm to be constructed.

Abergeldie complements its TBMs with a comprehensive inventory of underground construction equipment, including jumbo drills, boggers/scoops, microtunnelling rigs and a large road header.

Conventional tunnel construction and remediation services are also offered.

Tunnel construction capabilities include: � conventional drill/blast and

mechanical excavation tunnel construction

� tunnel restoration � culverts � three pin arches � pipe-jacked tunnels and pipelines � micro tunnelling � cut and cover � microtunnelling rigs

Abergeldie has extensive experience in tunnel and shaft remediation works. Recent projects include the Blackall Range Tunnel Remediation. The 2.5km long tunnel carries the potable water outlet pipe for the Baroon Pocket Dam and is a critical link in the Sunshine Coast water supply grid. The unlined sandstone crown and side walls had weathered over time, resulting in increasingly frequent rock falls. Abergeldie was engaged to carry out rehabilitation works on the tunnel support systems and to upgrade access and communication facilities.
