Beach Road Turning Lane
Construction of a right-turning lane from Beach Road into Volpini Court to satisfy town planning conditions for the Armoured Vehicle Centre of Excellence.
Scope
The works involved the construction of a right-turning lane from Beach Road into Volpini Court in Avalon, Victoria. The project aimed to satisfy town planning conditions and obtain all relevant authority approvals while integrating seamlessly with the existing road infrastructure. The project commenced with detailed design development, where construction plans were refined and finalised in consultation with stakeholders. All necessary approvals were secured to ensure full regulatory compliance. Prior to construction, service proofing was undertaken to identify and protect existing underground services.
Traffic management was critical to the project's success. A comprehensive plan, including stop/go controls, was implemented to maintain one lane of traffic throughout construction and minimise disruption to road users. Earthworks were then carried out to prepare and stabilise the subgrade for the new turning lane. Pavement construction included placement and compaction of a Type A capping layer, installation of Class 3 Cement-Treated Crushed Rock (CTCR) at 3% cement content, followed by an asphalt wearing course to complete the road surface.
Additional scope included drainage modifications, removal and reinstatement of guardrails, new kerb construction, and line marking, ensuring a durable and compliant upgrade to local road infrastructure.
Built on experience. Ready for what’s next.
