DESCRIPTION OF WORKS
Ford Civil have been contracted by Bunnings Group to undertake the external roadworks for the new Bunnings development on Victoria Road in Gladesville. The works involved the upgrade of two signalised intersections adjacent to the Bunnings site as well as widening of Victoria Road which required complex staged traffic management. Additionally, Service Authority Diversions were required for Ausgrid, Jemena, Sydney Water, and Council assets to suit the new road alignment. Throughout both the planning and implementation phases of this project, Ford Civil took extensive measures to meet the needs of all Community Stakeholders especially for works occurring in close proximity to the interface with Holy Cross College.
KEY FEATURES
• All roadworks – both flexible and rigid pavements – constructed to RMS Specifications.
• Due to working near and on a Victoria road, working hours were restricted and heavily monitored with approval to be granted by TMC. Complex project management was required to strategically maintain the project in 24-hour operation to achieve client deadlines.
• Relocation of, and working around, high-profile utilities such High Pressure Gas and High Voltage underground cables throughout the duration of the works.
• Complex traffic management strategies were engaged to undertake the works on Victoria Rd without impacting existing traffic conditions.
