Bluff Bridge Crossing Upgrade

SEOSpecialist — Thu, 21 Aug 2025 00:55:46 +0000

Overview

CJC Management Services developed and delivered the structural design and documentation for the new Bluff Bridge over the Orara River. This project replaces the existing timber road bridge that was built in circa 1905 and is nearing the end of its service life, which was prone to frequent flooding, with a modern Super T-Girder concrete bridge structure elevated approximately eight metres higher to enhance flood resilience and provide safer connectivity for the crossing of the Orara River near Lanitza (approximately 30km south of Grafton).

Scope of Works

Structural design compliant with AS5100-2017

Optimisation of Super T-Girder design

Compliance with SM1600 and HLP loading standards

Delivery of IFC documentation within a compressed 5-month timeline

Outcomes

Bridge deck elevated by approximately 8 metres to improve flood immunity

Enhanced access for freight and emergency services during adverse weather

Reduced maintenance requirements for Clarence Valley Council

Strengthened disaster resilience across the regional transport network

Timely commencement of construction in early 2025

Project Impact

The new Bluff Bridge provides improved access for residents, freight, and emergency services, significantly reducing the community’s isolation during flood events.

This project exemplifies CJC's commitment to delivering resilient infrastructure solutions that keep communities connected and supported.

Sydney Gateway Program Peer Review

Jaweria Saeed — Fri, 21 Aug 2020 06:25:00 +0000

Scope

The Sydney Gateway Project comprises new and upgraded road and rail infrastructure located at the Sydney Airport and Port Botany precincts. This new infrastructure will improve freight capacity on the Port Botany rail line and link WestConnex to Sydney Airport and Port Botany; Australia’s two largest international gateways.

The review focuses primarily on construction of civil and bridge works and the interfaces with relevant stakeholders.

CJC role

CJC was engaged to undertake a peer review of the reference design and program as well as provide expert bridge construction advice.

RMS (now TfNSW) engaged CJC to undertake a peer review of the Sydney Gateway master program. The scope of the review included:

General review of the functionality and suitability of the program for the planning approval and procurement phase/s of the project.
General review of assumptions made for the program basis.
Detailed review of the construction methods, durations and sequence that form the level 3 activities and, in particular, the bridge structure components, with a focus on elements of higher program risk.

Scope

The Alexandria to Moore Park road corridor currently serves the function of a southern CBD priority bypass route aimed at reducing congestion within the CBD.

Proposed road capacity and access improvements, as part of the Alexandria to Moore Park Connectivity Upgrade project, will reduce existing congestion and support substantial nearby urban renewal and transport projects.

CJC role

CJC was involved in the constructability and strategic assessment of the project with Craig Stoddart and Quoc Phuong as part of the team. It was truly a great project to be involved in.

Australia Avenue & Homebush Bay Drive Intersection Upgrade

Jaweria Saeed — Mon, 29 Jun 2020 06:24:00 +0000

Scope

Transport for NSW (TfNSW) is proposing to upgrade the intersection of Australia Avenue, Homebush Bay Drive and Underwood Road. This roundabout is one of the four gateway intersections providing access between the arterial road network and the Sydney Olympic Park precinct.

The idea of relocating an existing Homebush Bay Drive pier was proposed to TfNSW. CJC undertook a feasibility assessment of the pier relocation, including the development of mark-up drawings for TfNSW Bridge Branch.

CJC Role

CJC Management was initially engaged by Transport for NSW (TfNSW) to undertake a constructability assessment of four proposed options at the strategic design stage. The four options were two tunnel underpass upgrades, a signalised intersection at-grade upgrade and a diverging diamond at-grade upgrade. The scope of the assessment included preparing staging drawings, developing a construction method statement (CMS), undertaking a utilities impact assessment, presenting the outcomes of the assessment at a constructability options workshop, and preparing a report to record the outcomes of the options assessment.

CJC was then engaged to undertake an options assessment of twelve options, including those four options from the original options assessment. The scope included the development of an options matrix and facilitation of a constructability and health and safety in design (HSiD) workshop.

CJC presented as a Constructability Subject Matter Expert at Value Management Workshops in determining the chosen Diverging Diamond Interchange design out three finalised options.

Cambridge Airport Pavement Inspections

Jaweria Saeed — Sat, 30 May 2020 06:24:10 +0000

Scope

Cambridge Airport was the site of Hobart’s original and facilitates General Aviation and Charter flights. Over the past few years TAS Fire Services have used the aerodrome as a base for operating fire fighting aircraft (rotor and fixed wing) which has resulted in moderate damage to some of the pavements.

As such, the aerodrome required a subject matter expert to undertake an assessment of the damage to the pavements and provide advise on the likely cause and extent, which would then be used to scope a package of repair works to improve safety on the aerodrome

A government grant submission for part of the cost for the repair works was to be applied for by the aerodrome using our report as supporting evidence.

CJC Role

CJC Airport team was engaged to undertake a site visit to Cambridge Aerodrome, Tasmania for the purpose of conducting a visual condition assessment. As part of the project scope, we provided a written report which identifies extent and severity of damage to airfield pavements and advise on likely cause of the damage.

Sydney Airport 5-Year Airfield Capex Planning

Jaweria Saeed — Thu, 14 May 2020 06:24:03 +0000

Scope

Our Airports team was engaged to provide independent advice on the current 5-year Airfield CAPEX Plan. We provided Subject Matter Expert advice on their airfield pavements.

The output of this work will be used as supporting information for Aeronautical Agreement to lock in the Airfield Pavement Capital Works for the next 5 years.

CJC Role

CJC provided external assessment and advice is required for the prioritisation of the Airfield Pavement Re-sheet and Reconstruction Work based on the following information;

Visual Inspection (assumed to be undertaken during curfew)
Recent Annual Technical Inspection Reports
Historical Pavement Repairs (with input from FM)
Known age of the asphalt surface
Criticality of the Asset for the Airfield Operation

This will be done based on assessments on current and past condition reports, operational importance, corrective maintenance history and also on a visual condition inspection.
