Highways Freeways & Roads

CIVIL INFRASTRUCTURE - Highways Freeways & Roads

The design of this first stage construction for the Main Roads Western Australia comprised integrated at-grade intersections, landscaping and street lighting to suit the ultimate design.

Graham Farmer Bypass Tunnel: Airey Taylor Consulting was invited by the Thiess Transfield Consortium to provide tender design for costing on this $200 million project comprising 1.7kms of tunnel through inner city areas. The tunnel design comprised topside down construction with diaphragm walls and pile anchored floor, with post tensioned and reinforced roof. The approach interchange incorporated two traffic bridges which were super elevated and geometrically curved cloverleaf design. Also included were pedestrian underpass and pedestrian bridge over the tunnel approach lanes. This advanced design was intended for a "build and maintain" contract.
