INFRASTRUCTURE

Abergeldie designs and constructs complex infrastructure projects for a range of clients including local governments and transport infrastructure owners.

Fowlers Road to Fairwater Drive Link

Abergeldie was engaged by Wollongong City Council to deliver the Fowlers Road to Fairwater Drive link which included the relocation of overhead 33kV and 11kV aerial feeder cabling and poles within the rail corridor. This allowed for an extension of Fowlers Road to Fairwater Drive and a new intersection with the Princes Highway. Contracts were awarded to Abergeldie in a series of stages, with works delivered as a coordinated program.

To deliver this highly complex project, the team worked with various time restrictions to ensure minimal disturbance to the local community. Works within the live rail corridor were carried out while normal rail traffic continued. Working near schools meant a restriction on material haulage via the school during school zone hours.

Camp Street Bridge Replacement

Abergeldie was selected by Roads and Maritime Services (now Transport for NSW) to replace the Camp Street bridge over Lake Forbes. The Camp Street Bridge Replacement project delivered a newer, safer main access road to Forbes town centre for residents and visitors to the region. This project, included demolition of the existing 60m long, 2-lane concrete bridge over Lake Forbess and construction of the replacement 70m bridge with two 5m travel lanes, a 4m wide shared path on one side and 2m wide footway on the other.

Delivering complex infrastructure to improve and connect communities

Parramatta Escarpment Boardwalk

Abergeldie recently completed the award-winning Parramatta Escarpment Boardwalk, a river-level shared path for City of Parramatta council. Located opposite of the Parramatta River Wharf, the 3m-wide boardwalk provides a much-needed link to Parramatta Valley Cycleway, connecting Parramatta Park to Melrose Park through completely offroad facilities.

The boardwalk is stage one of the transformation of Parramatta Quay and caters to the nearly 2 million pedestrians and cyclists that enjoy the foreshore every day.

Hope Island Bridges Rehabilitation

Abergeldie has been engaged by the Department of Main Roads in Queensland to undertake works to provide pile structural easements to prevent further deterioration of piles and functionality of the Coombabah Creek Bridge and Flood Relief Channel Bridge on Oxley Drive.
