Ferry services in Sydney, Australia provide a vital public transport service. The NSW Government franchised the operations of the Sydney ferry services under a seven-year franchising agreement.
Crossrail is a railway project being constructed in London, United Kingdom, by Crossrail Ltd – a subsidiary of Transport for London (TfL). The project aims to provide a high-frequency passenger railway service underneath the City of London from east to west, connecting several major underground railway lines.
The NSW Government faced a shortage of skilled workers and an ongoing lack of workforce diversity in the infrastructure industry – particularly with respect to women, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, and apprentices. The government, in consultation with the construction industry, mandated skills, training, and employment targets for all major government infrastructure projects.
The New South Wales (NSW) Government sought to upgrade a 155 km section of the Pacific Highway between Woolgoolga and Ballina. It adopted a d elivery partner model that repackaged the works and tender packages on a trade or activity basis, for a logical sequencing of works across the entire project.
In Chicago, the local government received requests for more libraries and community spaces, however, there was little to no funding available for the projects. Combining a new public library with affordable senior housing improves the value proposition of both projects as construction costs can be shared between levels of government. The library could not have been built on its own.
Objective information on upcoming project and investment opportunities in the region has historically been disparate, with differing data standards and procurement models by the Australian Federal, State and Territory, and New Zealand Governments. The Australia and New Zealand Infrastructure Pipeline (ANZIP) was developed to provide a forward view of major infrastructure projects and contracts across the two countries.
Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a digital representation of an asset(s) that can be used in infrastructure delivery from planning through to Operation, Management and Maintenance (OMM). SNCF Gares & Connexions (SNCF), a rail station developer, operator and manager in France found that as it developed its stations and services resulting in increased passengers, it required a greater technical understanding of these assets. SNCF Gares & Connexions ( SNCF) looked to BIM as a solution but found that existing BIM solutions did not adequately meet all its requirements.
On Sao Paulo metropolitan train lines 8 and 9, a concession contract was issued for operation, maintenance, and upgrade of services and stations, and the supply of rolling stocks and signalling systems. The project attracted significant private sector participation.
The Queensland Government needed to deliver eight new primary schools and two new secondary schools across South East Queensland to cater for up to 10,000 additional students and 650 staff as part of the growing demand for education in the region. The Queensland Government adopted a bundling approach within a public-private partnership (PPP) contract to ‘bundle’ the 10 smaller school assets under a PPP.
London relies on a 150-year-old sewer system built for a population less than half its current size. As a result, millions of tonnes of raw sewage overflow the system each year and end up in the River Thames. The GBP4.2 billion (USD5.7 billion) Thames Tideway Tunnel (TTT) is being built to tackle the problem for at least the next 120 years and enable the United Kingdom to meet European environmental standards.
TEAM2100 is delivering the first 10 years of the Thames Estuary Asset Management Programme. The programme covers tidal flood defences as recommended by the 100-year Thames Estuary 2100 (TE2100) plan, which sets out how to manage increasing tidal flood risk from rising sea levels and deteriorating assets to the end of the century.
Sydney Water’s new collaborative framework called ‘Partnering for Success (P4S)’ covered the appointment of long-term integrated planning partners in 2019 and a 10-year partnership with three regional delivery consortia (RDC) from 2020.
British Airports Authority (BAA), a major airport operator, constructed Heathrow Terminal 5 (T5), the largest construction project in Europe in the early 2000s. To achieve the desired outcomes to budget, time and quality, BAA decided it needed a model to actively manage the risk on the project. It developed a bespoke relational contract (T5 agreement) for use with its T5 tier 1 suppliers, including architects and engineering design consultants, and general and specialised contractors and manufacturers.
The AUD11 billion (USD8.2 billion) Melbourne Metro Tunnel Project involves the construction of twin 9 km rail tunnels through Melbourne’s central business district, in addition to five new underground stations along this route. The scope of the early works package included utility and telecommunication service relocations, site preparation works, and construction of two access shafts to allow the construction of the underground stations.
Rocky Flats was a United States nuclear weapons plant in Colorado. After production was halted in 1989, government agencies did not have the capability or capacity to close the plant as quickly desired. To accelerate the program and minimise cost, performance incentives were provided to the joint venture responsible for delivering the works.
Rail Projects Victoria, a Victorian Government delivery authority, established the Victorian Tunnelling Centre (VTC), based on the Crossrail Tunnelling and Underground Construction Academy, London, to offer specialist training in the construction and operation of a variety of types of tunnels, including rail, road, and utilities tunnels.
Cross River Rail is a 10.2 km, AUD5.4 billion (2 billion) rail line in Brisbane, Australia linking Dutton Park to Bowen Hills. It includes 5.9 km twin tunnels crossing underneath the Brisbane River and CBD and four new underground stations and eight upgraded stations, doubling the railway capacity across the Brisbane River. It will also involve developing three new Gold Coast stations.
The Gateway Review Process, developed by the United Kingdom Office of Government Commerce (OGC) (a Treasury office) in the early 2000s, is a process now used by several jurisdictions around the world that aims to give greater scrutiny and oversight to major projects throughout their lifecycle.
HS2 is a new high-speed rail line that in Phase One will connect London with Birmingham, and later with Manchester and Leeds. It will serve over 25 stations connecting around 30 million people and will significantly improve travel times between London and the Midlands.
Digital Design-Built Policies are coherent plans for digital infrastructure delivery which align with recognised industry standards and frameworks. They seek to digitise the asset lifecycle by requiring the use of specific digital technologies in the design and construction process.
