PROJECT OVERVIEW

WestConnex is Australia’s biggest integrated transport and urban revitalisation project. A joint project by the Australian Government and NSW State Government, the 33-kilometre predominantly underground motorway scheme includes around 26 kilometres of new tunnels passing underneath Sydney’s Inner West.

Working with ASBJV’s team for 18 months before we were on-site, Marr was engaged early in what was an incredibly complicated project from an engineering point-of-view.

THE CHALLENGE

The cranage solution needed to address the challenges of:

  • A congested, sloping site
  • Limited space between two arterial roads
  • Proximity to Sydney Airport
  • A challenging schedule
  • Heavy lifting requirements – heavy pre-cast beams weighing up to 84T
  • Limited space for lay down areas
OUR SOLUTION

Working with ASBJV’s team for 18 months before we were on-site, Marr was engaged early in what was an incredibly complicated project from an engineering point-of-view.

THE RESULT

BENEFITS EARLY ENGAGEMENT WITH MARR

Marr’s solution using a M2480D installed on a piled cap foundation resulted in:

  • Shortened programme by 25%
  • Cranage solution designed into the site, allowing all heavy lifting requirements to be completed by a single crane from a fixed location
