Safety in design Safety in design forms the foundation of Aurecon’s

construction capabilities. Integrating comprehensive hazard

identification and risk assessment methods early in the

design process, Aurecon’s focus on safety in design

encompasses all design including facilities, hardware,

systems, equipment, products, tooling, materials, energy

controls, layout and configuration.

Systems assurance Systems engineering and systems assurance are vital

processes in delivering infrastructure and construction

projects, within complex operating environments. Through

our systems assurance expertise, Aurecon can help clients

develop and implement systems that meet project

objectives and specifications, while also achieving the

highest standards of safety and reliability across the life

cycle of the project.

A vibrant service mix

The Central Terminal Building at OR Tambo International Airport South Africa

Client Airports Company South Africa

The completion of the Central Terminal Building was vital

for the success of the 2010 FIFA World Cup as the airport

served as the key point of entry to and from South Africa,

forming a literal ‘gateway to Africa’ for all tourists.

Aurecon’s involvement in this large, complex project

comprised civil and structural engineering, including the

implementation of a complex glass and aluminium façade

system central to the terminal’s visual appeal. Aurecon

also provided wet services and mechanical engineering,

including heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC).

The construction of the terminal was completed with

minimal disruption of existing operations by careful

sequencing and collaboration with the client and the

contractor.

Our global success stories

TrackStar Alliance Australia

Client TrackStar Alliance

TrackStar Alliance is an integrated infrastructure delivery

business that harnesses the best skills of four

experienced business partners, Queensland Rail, Thiess,

Aurecon and AECOM. Established in June 2006,

TrackStar Alliance has designed and constructed a series

of rail infrastructure projects in South East Queensland

including the Caboolture to Beerburrum Track Duplication,

the Robina to Varsity Lakes Rail Extension, the Corinda to

Darra Rail Upgrade and the Beerwah Rail Crossing.

The Alliance is currently constructing the Stage 2

Richlands to Springfield Project, that will help reduce

congestion on the Centenary Highway, potentially taking

2 500 cars off the road during peak traffic times. Key

features of this project include a 9.5 kilometre dual track

passenger rail line, two new stations, an integrated bus

and rail interchange, seven rail bridges and more than

seven kilometres of cycle pathways.


Meydan Racecourse Development United Arab Emirates

Client Dubai Roads and Transport Authority

The Dubai Roads and Transport Authority appointed

Aurecon, in joint venture with Al Burj Engineering

Consultants, for the design, tender documentation and

construction supervision for the required road network

and bridges.

Successful collaboration between all stakeholders

ensured the construction of the road network and the

bridges were completed in time for the 2010 World Cup

event at the Racecourse. The tight deadline was the main

driver in determining many aspects of the design

philosophy adopted by the joint venture with tender

documents being compiled to ensure phasing of the

works could be accommodated.

Construction on the first phase of the road network

commenced in August 2007 and was completed on

schedule at the end of March 2010. The project, which

played its part in the ultimate success of the event, now

forms an integral part of the Meydan landscape.


Gautrain Rapid Rail Link South Africa

Client Gauteng Provincial Government Consortium Bombela Concession Company

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.

Our bridge, geotechnical and road experts helped devise

a cost-effective, efficient and environmentally friendly

transport solution for the most densely developed area in

Gauteng. The Gautrain project is set to play a pivotal role

in the economic development of the Gauteng Province.


Air New Zealand Nelson Hangar New Zealand

Winner

Aurecon was the structural engineer for a new hangar

facility at Nelson Airport, New Zealand. The hangar is a

large 80 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.

Award-winning solutions

New Zealand Engineering Excellence Awards 2011 Building and Construction

Stamford Residences New Zealand

Winner


New Zealand Engineering Excellence Awards 2010 Building and Construction

Innovative engineering enabled 11 floors of luxury

apartments, and associated car parking, to be constructed

above the world-renowned Stamford Plaza 5 Star Hotel in

Auckland’s central business district.

Aurecon was appointed for structural engineering,

geotechnical engineering, facade engineering and

surveying of the existing building.

Innovations included installing three tuned mass dampers,

weighing a total of 380 tonnes, to reduce the wind

accelerations experienced by occupants in the building.

Cunene River Bridge South Africa

Dual Award Winner


South African Institute of Civil Engineering Project Awards 2010 International

Construction World’s Best Projects 2010 Civil Engineering and Building Contractors (outside South Africa)

After the last permanent structure was destroyed in the Civil

War, Aurecon, together with joint venture partners Gabeng

and BKS, were appointed for the design and preparation of

bid documents and site supervision for the 880 metre long

Cunene River Bridge project, currently the longest bridge

in Angola.

Using a temporary fill, a working platform on the flood plain

was created so piling work could operate non-stop during

the five month flood plain inundation. The 110 friction piles,

with a width of 1.2 metres and an average length of 25

metres were accommodated in the shortest time possible.

To meet time constraints, 100 girder sections and more

than 1 000 precast concrete deck slabs were

simultaneously constructed in China and on site,

respectively. A separate site was set up to weld girders

which were launched using hydraulic jacks. Before the

bridge could be launched, a reinforced substructure

consisting of 16 piers and the two abutments were

constructed.

Techport Australia Common User Facility Australia

Joint winner


Engineers Australia, Australian Engineering Excellence Awards 2010 Certificate of recognition

Consult Australia Awards for Excellence 2010 Transport and civil

The Common User Facility in South Australia is a

national strategic asset that is playing a key role in the

building of the new Air Warfare Destroyers for the Royal

Australian Navy.

Aurecon was the design consultant for this technically

challenging and complex multidisciplinary project, which

was delivered on time and constructed to the approved

budget.

Work was performed on land, over water and under water,

with much of it carried out on the edge of the Port River,

requiring substantial pre-construction works.

The Port River is a dolphin sanctuary and stringent

environmental controls were enforced to ensure minimal

impact on the river’s ecology.
