Dynon Road Bridge widening

Australia, EIC Activities

EIC Activities’ structures, construction engineering and temporary works team was engaged by CPB Contractors to provide a solution for the Dynon Road Bridge widening, as part of the West Gate Tunnel project in Victoria.

With 15 railway lines running underneath the bridge, many of the required crane lifts of up to 200T, could only be performed from the bridge deck. The EIC Activities team assessed the bridge structure, determined the appropriate crane positions and associated temporary works required, and enabled the team to safely widen the bridge structure on time.

Sydney Metro – Western Sydney Airport

New South Wales, CPB Contractors, EIC Activities, Leighton Asia's One Digital Construction Services

CPB Contractors, EIC Activities and Leighton Asia’s One Digital Construction Services (1DCS) unit collaborated on the successful design of the temporary works supporting the tunnel boring machine (TBM) and back-up gantries for the Sydney Metro – Western Sydney Airport, Station Boxes and Tunnelling Works (WSA-SBT).

The CPB Contractors project team engaged EIC Activities to lead the delivery of the design works, in collaboration with 1DCS. EIC Activities and 1DCS utilised CPB Contractors’ common data environment which enables collaboration between project stakeholders with BIM360 and Projectwise. The team’s designs were integrated with designs from other design delivery partners, and achieved seamless integration with the TBM, ultimately minimising delays and mitigating potential issues during construction.
