25.01.2022 Coolac Bypass Project. The Hume Highway is the main freight route between Sydney and Melbourne. It is also a vital transport link for communities and industries in southern NSW. The Works on the recently completed $150 M Coolac Bypass involved:... 11.8km of new plain concrete base dual carriageway motorway. 4.1km of new NB carriageway on improved alignment. Grade separated interchange at Cootamundra Road including a voided slab bridge (2 spans) over the dual carriageways. New twin bridges over a private property machinery access. New twin bridges over Daisy Bed Creek. Twin bridge underpass for local traffic at Coleman St in Pettit using twin voided slab bridges (single span) Replacement of narrow bridge at Muttama Creek with new twin bridges (7 span, driven RC piles and PSC planks) and demolition of the existing bridge. Provision of roadworks for rest areas for each direction of traffic. Approximately 1.5 million m3 of earthworks. Approximately 300,000 m2 of new concrete pavement. The construction of the project involved several stages with temporary traffic arrangements. The work was progressively opened to traffic as each stage is completed. PES developed specific checklists and safeguards against sub base cracking and was foremost in developing and enhancing the RTA specification for PCB following some significant cracking on this and the two adjacent alliance projects. These documents are now integral in the management of future CRCP and PCB contacts in South Western Region.

24.01.2022 Pimlico to Teven The Pimlico to Teven (Enabling Works) upgrade is a 2.3km length project which follows on from the Ballina Bypass project, as Stage 2. This stage will facilitate the future upgrade of the Pacific Highway between Woodburn and Ballina, known as HW10 Pacific Highway. The construction of this upgrade was awarded to Leighton Contractors as a Construct only contract and major construction commenced in November 2013. Stage two consists of the following:... Building 2.3 kilometres of two lane single carriageway on the Pacific Highway (temporary tie-ins to the existing road included). Building 1.3 kilometres of two lane single carriageway on the Bruxner Highway. Realignment of 300 metres of two lane single carriageway on Pimlico Road to create a new temporary intersection with the Pacific Highway. Building a new 117 metre long bridge over Duck Creek (Pacific Highway). Providing a new 173 metre bridge over Emigrant Creek South (Bruxner Highway). Drainage alterations and landscape works. Providing maintenance access roads on both sides of Emigrant Creek South.

22.01.2022 Devils Pulpit Upgrade. The upgrade to the Devils Pulpit section of the Pacific Highway between Grafton and Ballina in the Northern Rivers area of NSW encompassed a 7.3 kilometre section of the Pacific Highway which forms part of the 33km Iluka Road to Woodburn project. The key features of the project were:... 7.3 kilometre of four lane divided highway with a wide median to allow for future upgrade to six lanes. Improvements to property access and amenity for nearby residents. Improvements to drainage and flood mitigation. Construction of bridges over Tabbimoble floodways. Overhead rope crossings for glider and other animal species.

22.01.2022 Bonville Upgrade Project Bonville Upgrade was a more recent DCM project that involved PES in an integrated PRTA/PSC site management team. It included both CRCP and PBC pavements, with AC overlays and many bridges and three pairs of arch structures.... The project involved the design, construction and maintenance of new dual carriageways of the Pacific Highway between the northern extents of the Raleigh Deviation Project to the southern extent of the Lyons Road to Englands Road Project, a distance of 9.8 km. The project included Interchanges, Overpass bridges, bridges across waterways, a roundabout, twin tunnels Noise attenuation, Security and fauna fencing, Property adjustments and adjustments to Services.

22.01.2022 Nerang 8 Laning Project. The PSC included support in design and project management elements. The construction component of the contract involved several separate contracts including: Public Utility Plant adjustments totalling $5M.... Early bridge construction contracts totalling $7M. Package 6 (Value $54M) construction contract involving urban style construction including cut and cover tunnel, two Freeway Overbridges, major excavation involving contiguous piling. and retaining walls, flexible pavements, asphalt pavements, and enormously complex traffic staging issues. Package 5 construction contract (Value $34M) involving major semi-rural style roadwork construction on flexible pavements with asphalt base layers and surfacing. Miscellaneous contracts including contracts with Main Roads, RTCS. The project was extremely complex and proved a difficult administration project due mainly to some rather poorly presented plans. The Package 6 component was ultimately completed under Alliance principles due to the extensive disruptions caused by the lack of suitable plans. The role of Professional Engineering Service Pty Ltd was to provide a Contract Superintendent (Allan Kennedy), and ultimately up to 9 field and administrative staff including Superintendent's Representatives, field Surveillance Officers for both road and bridge works, quality assurance representatives and office administration personnel. The original PSC contract was a Lump Sum, however the massive difference in numbers of staff required at commencement, compared to that eventually required resulted in a final consultancy fee of $3.8M (3.8%), under extremely adverse contractual circumstances.

13.01.2022 Yelgun to Chinderah Project. Yelgun to Chinderah was the biggest rural project then being undertaken by RTA, NSW and was a design/construct/maintain contract on the Pacific Highway valued at approximately $350M It was successfully managed by PES for a final consultancy fee of $2.93M (0.85%) between 1999 and 2004.... Broad statistics for the Yelgun to Chinderah project were: 28.5 km long, dual carriageway rural freeway construction. In excess of 1,000,000 m3 of cut-to-fill earthworks, with 200,000 m3 of selected material. 130,000 m3 of concrete base. Interchanges at Cudgera Creek Road, Clothiers Creek Road, and Oak Avenue. Bridges over various creeks along the proposed alignment, including Crabbes Creek, Burringbar Creek, Cudgera Creek, Christies Creek, and Clothiers Creek. Underpass and overpass structures for retention of local access as well as fauna access. A 120 metre long tunnel structure beneath Cudgen Road, with state-of-the-art electronic survey and warning systems included.

08.01.2022 Majura Parkway Project. The Majura Parkway is the single largest road infrastructure project undertaken by the ACT to date. When completed, it will link the Federal Highway at its northern end to the Monaro Highway at its southern end.... PES provides the full Contract Site Management team for the GC21 contract with a major (bridge) D&C element including the PAP, 2 PAPDs, one Site Engineer 4 Surveillance Officers, 2 Administration Managers and Environmental, Safety and Survey elements. Broad statistics for the Majura Parkway project are: 11.5 km long, dual carriageway and will have speed limit of 100 km/hr 2 x 3.5 metres traffic lanes, a 2.5 m roadside shoulder and a 1m offside shoulder 10 bridges, including 250 metre twin bridges over the Molonglo River Designed to carry 40,000 vehicles a day including 6,000 trucks. The Majura Parkway project will provide a wide range of benefits including: improved traffic flow and safety; additional capacity on the ACT road network; reduced travel times; improved access to the Majura Valley; dedicated on-road cycle lanes to encourage cycling; improved access to the national and regional freight route; and supporting infrastructure for the Canberra International Airport to become a major international freight and commuter hub.

01.01.2022 Sheahan Bridge Duplication This project, valued at $60 M (contract only) consisted of a 1,200 m long crossing of the Murrumbidgee River and flood plain. This project, valued at $60 M (contract only) consisted of a 1,200 m long crossing of the Murrumbidgee River and flood plain and associated dual carriageway Hume Highway approaches, at Gundagai south western NSW.... The river crossing bridge was a three span balanced cantilever structure. The adjoining floodplain bridge consisted a 27 x 40 m span prestressed I beam structure in linked slabs designed in groups of 6 span trestles. The road works consisted on regrading and re-paving the existing 2 lane northbound carriageway of the Hume Highway and the construction of a new 2 lane southbound carriageway utilising flexible pavements and deeplift AC.
