About the project

BMD was contracted to extend the existing Park ‘n’ Ride car park in Ipswich, approximately 40 kilometres west of Brisbane. Works included delivering around 70 additional car parks and upgrades to the bus stop, resulting in improved pedestrian safety and connectivity.

Scope

Installation of fencing

Construction of a retaining wall

500m3 of excavation

Installation of 85 metres of stormwater culverts

Construction of kerb and channel

135 tonnes of asphalt

Installation of 250 metres of conduit

Relocation of existing services including sewer, water, NBN and Telstra

1600m2 of subgrade treatment

Installation of new street lighting and CCTV infrastructure

1600m2 of clearing

Outcomes


The risk management levels for noise and vibration were upgraded from low to medium once BMD were awarded the project, which required new management plans to be developed, and pre-construction monitoring to be undertaken. BMD’s project team worked collaboratively with the client and Queensland Rail to implement additional control measures and ensure they were up to standard.

Once onsite, the project team encountered unforeseen challenges including the presence of asbestos, a number of unknown services, and a significant landscaping and footpath redesign around established trees in the area. These additional works were undertaken with minimal disruption to the overall schedule of the project because of BMD’s extensive experience and highly skilled project team.
