Collaboration and Success : Lessons from the Crystalbrook Road Project
This is a case study that highlights the exemplary collaboration and successful outcomes achieved in the Crystalbrook Road Project (CN-18499) located in Proserpine, completed in Q1 2023. The project, set in an urban environment, faced significant challenges, particularly when discrepancies arose between ground conditions and the initial geotechnical investigation. However, through proactive communication and a […]
From Shared Vision to Shared Success: A Collaborative Approach to Sustainable Infrastructure Development
The Townsville Ring Road Stage 5 project transformed a 6-kilometre section of the Bruce Highway, showcasing collaboration between Georgiou, AECOM, and the Department of Transport and Main Roads. Through a series of Australian-first initiatives, the project yielded significant environmental, social, and economic benefits. A collaborative approach broke new ground by pioneering the commercial production of […]
Land iQ – Standardised Land Use Evaluation Tool
The NSW Government, working with their Partners WSP and Giraffe has developed a whole of government spatial tool to transform planning and pre-development processes. The tool modernises the traditional approach to strategic planning, site assessment and land use evaluation and provides user friendly access to spatial analyses and scenario building capabilities where multiple agencies can […]
Alternative techniques for constructing spray seals without cutters
Whilst most developed countries have moved away from cutting back hot binders with kerosene to construct spray seals, it is still common practice in Australia. The continuation of this practice raises concerns about potential hazards which could result in incidents causing harm to people from explosions and the emission of volatile vapours into the atmosphere. […]
New research for improved performance characterisation of foamed bitumen stabilised granular bases
This presentation introduces our recent research focused on real-time traffic incident prediction, tailored for large-scale network-wide road operations and disruption management. Traditional methods for incident prediction at a network scale often involve building separate models for each road segment or using one large model for the entire network, both of which can be costly and […]
Predictive Analytics for Large-Scale Network Management: Deep Learning Approaches for Real-Time Traffic Incident Prediction
This presentation introduces our recent research focused on real-time traffic incident prediction, tailored for large-scale network-wide road operations and disruption management. Traditional methods for incident prediction at a network scale often involve building separate models for each road segment or using one large model for the entire network, both of which can be costly and […]
Victoria Bridge Refurbishment
The Victoria Bridge has been a key crossing of the Brisbane River for public transport, private vehicles and pedestrians/cyclists since its opening in 1969. As part of the Brisbane Metro project, the structure was closed to general traffic in January 2021 to prioritise public and active transport by increasing the busway corridor and adding a […]
NACOE Research Program project P131Sustainable Practice in Sprayed Sealing
About 90% of the state-controlled sealed road network is surfaced with sprayed seals. Given thewidespread use on state controlled roads, the pursuit of sustainable sprayed sealing practices byeffectively and ef�iciently delivering this form of road surfacing supports the community and thegovernment’s ‘Building Queensland’ and ‘Supporting Jobs’ objectives. The project was undertaken withliaison with Australian Flexible […]
Conducting Road Safety Audits in Central Queensland using an Instrumented Motorcycle as a basis for funding submissions: A Case Study
Motorcyclists continue to be significantly overrepresented in the number of lives lost on roads in Queensland, Australia. This paper presents a case study of a collaborative approach between the Road Accident Action Group (RAAG) which are a local road safety advocacy group, state and local government, and the university sector, as well as the broader […]
Moving towards Digital by Default through more effective Digital Engineering
There is a state government mandate to reach digital by default by 2032. Digital by default means moving from paper-based data to data in digital format. TMR has committed to this mandate by implementing a range of digital engineering initiatives including Building Information Modelling on major projects. However, to achieve digital by default, TMR needs […]
