Brisbane Airport – Domestic Hotel Services

Scope

The project was essential to coping with the growing precinct and comprised of a high volume of water assets, including:

• installation of 1700 metres of sewer rising main, predominantly adjacent to an existing smaller sewer rising main including mild steel cement lined (MSCL) and unplasticised polyvinyl chloride (uPVC)
• installation of 450 metres of new water main
• installation of 265 metres of deep sewer gravity
• directional drilling of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe.

Outcomes

With an emphasis on prior planning and investigative work to identify all existing known and unknown services within the project’s footprint, BMD successfully:

• managed high-risk undocumented existing services networks
• methodically worked to safely locate services, whilst installing new networks with zero interruption to airport services, as well as managing the services requirements of an adjacent building contractor
• scheduled higher-risk works at night and installed temporary bypasses to keep the building contractor online
• maintained positive relations with key stakeholders including Brisbane Airport Corporation, contractors, cab companies, valet parking operator, and car park operator.
