SYSTRA provided key individuals into the TJH team for the duration of the tender process.

Our Involvement

  • Airport Link (the most complex road and tunnel engineering feat in Queensland’s history);

  • Northern Busway (Windsor to Kedron); and the Airport Roundabout Upgrade Projects.

Specifically, SYSTRA’s specialist engineers were required to:

  • Provide constructability assessments and detailed program review of all underground structures;

  • Conduct productivity analysis and cost planning based on first principles analysis;

  • Coordinate and review the tunnel profile design, vertical and horizontal road geometry, space proofing, and tunnelling equipment selection;

  • Lead the tunnelling group through pre-bid, EOI, and Optioneering phases of the tender process to recommend the final alignment and functional design for the significantly increased tunnel component.
