A Full-Circle Moment on One of Victoria’s Biggest Projects 

More than 26 years ago, Colin Calder, Pushpa Nadanapatham, Michael Eager and Van Bardzamian worked together in Melbourne on the original Western Link (CityLink) project; the last major corridor linking Melbourne’s west to the CBD and north. Two decades later, the team has reunited at CJC, returning once again to the very same transport spine they helped shape in the 1990s. 

 

Now, Colin and team members across CJC, have delivered the next generation of that network: the West Gate Tunnel project, one of the most complex infrastructure undertakings in Victoria’s history. 

 

Strengthening a City-Shaping Project 

The West Gate Tunnel will transform how Melbourne moves, providing a vital second river crossing, easing pressure on the West Gate Bridge, and removing 9,000 trucks a day from inner-west streets. With twin tunnels, major freeway upgrades, and a new elevated roadway above Footscray Road, it is a once-in-a-generation upgrade to the state’s transport network. 

Did You Know?

  • 6.8 km twin tunnels beneath Yarraville.
  • 46,000 tonnes of steel used across the bridges and elevated structures.
  • 450 tonnes this individual girder was the project’s heaviest lift. The largest girder was 95 m.
  • 17 km of continuous upgraded transport corridors.

CJC’s Role:

As subject matter experts (SMEs), CJC provided expertise in various domains, including steel fabrication and erection, precast fabrication and erection, specialist bridge erection, heavy lift reviews, programme reviews and analysis, as well as road opening strategy and delivery.

 

Our Commercial Team was involved in the day-to-day commercial management of the Project across all site and state issues. They are also responsible for providing commercial strategies from project delivery to completion.

 

Our responsibilities across the delivery of the West Gate Tunnel Project encompasses; collaboration with Contractor’s Management Team to meet project deliverables, managing compliance and progress of construction, liaising with State Departments, developing, and implementing road opening strategies, and facilitating the handover of assets to the Clients’ Operations Team.

 

CJC role encompasses several key roles and responsibilities as part of the Surface Works Delivery including Senior Delivery Director, Commercial, Project Management and Subject Matter Experts (SME) services, all integrating seamlessly within the Client’s Team.

Scope

WestConnex Stage 1 M4 Widening involved building an additional lane in each direction on the M4 Motorway, between Parramatta and Homebush. The project is approximately 7.5km long.

The responsibilities of our team included implementation of risk management project controls, project preparation and readiness, interface management with utilities providers and stakeholders, review of the design against as-constructed works, on-site safety surveillance, review of the Environmental Management Plan and budget preparation cost management for variation works.

CJC role

From 2014 until early 2015, CJC was engaged by Sydney Motorway Corporation (now Transurban) to provide project management services throughout the tender bid assessment, during the procurement phase of the project. CJC was then engaged to provide personnel during the construction phase.

 

Our personnel took on key roles within the client delivery team, having an active presence on-site and at meetings with the Contractor, client and key stakeholders.

 

Within the final twelve months of the construction phase, and partly during the finalisation phase, CJC personnel were engaged to manage the completion process for Sydney Motorway Corporation. Responsibilities included forming and facilitating a weekly completion meeting, reviewing quality compliance, attending and monitoring defect inspections, identifying high-risk items and reporting the status of completion to the Project Director.

 

CJC personnel continued to be engaged in the project as work areas were progressively opened to traffic and handed over to the Operation and Maintenance Contractor.
