BRISBANE AIRPORT LINK AND TUNNEL QLD

Contractor: Thiess & John Holland

Duration: 2009 - 2012

Thiess John Holland (TJH) is currently in the process of constructing Australia’s largest ever infrastructure project: the Airport Link Tunnel, Northern Busway and Airport Roundabout upgrade.
The project involves the construction of 25 bridges, 15km of tunnels and 7km of additional roads.
Valued at $4.8 billion the joint venture began construction in November 2008 and is scheduled for completion mid 2012. Meales Brisbane depot was successful in securing one of the concrete pumping agreements for this project back in 2009.

Due to the array of equipment we have on offer and our close proximity to the project we have been a preferred supplier to TJH and many of the subcontractors working on site. The scope of works on this project is as diverse as the project itself with every imaginable type of pour or structure required to be pump.

With the project running 6 days a week 24 hours per day concrete pumping is an around the clock operation whether it be tunnel works below ground during the nights or large deck pours starting very early morning.

As the only concrete pumping contractor able to offer various telescopic and Z fold booms particular focus has been on servicing the tunnel section of the project with these versatile booms. With another 6 to 12 months of structures and tunnel fit out Meales involvement with TJH and subcontractors remains strong with many exciting challenges ahead.

Equipment Used: Schwing XCMG HGO32 Placing Boom + Putzmeister 2110 High Pressure Static Pump + Various Mobile Pumps.

GOODWILL BRIDGE QLD

Contractor: John Holland

Duration: 2000-2001

The Goodwill bridge is a vital pedestrian link between South Bank and the Brisbane City. At 500 meters long, from one side of the river to the other this project was always going to be challenging and different to any other pumping job previously. 

For various reasons this project required a floating line from one side of the river across to each of the different structures where a mobile boom pump was placed on a barge to help convey the concrete to the required heights. This concrete was pumped from the river bank with the help of a high pressure skid pump.


After some early challenges of floating lines verse tidal movement and wash from boats the project proved to be a great success
