Level Crossing Removal Project

Duration:

9 months

Innovative construction with elevated platforms

The building works included: 

  • 2 No. 160-metre platforms, constructed on ‘Super T’ pre-stressed beams 
  • Platform canopies, including screens for wind and rain protection 
  • A series of ground-level ‘pod’ buildings, providing staff and commuter facilities, PSO office, plant and equipment rooms, kiosk and bicycle storage (‘Parkiteer’) 
  • Lifts and stairs 
  • Paved concourse area 
  • Emergency and maintenance stair structures 

As part of Western Project Alliance’s Webb St Level Crossing Removal Project, Built Environs constructed a new premium railway station at Narre Warren, including elevated platforms to suit the raised track viaduct. 

Access and working-time restrictions that apply to working in proximity to live rail, dictated that prefabrication methods were used for many of the building elements. For the south-side lifts, Built Environs prefabricated steel lift shafts in temporary positions to allow cladding installation, prior to lifting into permanent position during the major rail occupation and changeover (from on-grade to elevated condition).

Fast Facts:

  • Time and access restrictions required prefabrication of many elements
  • A 600t crane installed precast lift base and the pre-fabricated lift shafts
  • Rainwater from roof drainage is collected and stored in a 25kL underground tank and used as a non-potable water supply
