Road & Civil
Panorama Drive, Yeppoon
JRT were proud to be an integral part of this important project on the Capricorn Coast. The important link in the Livingstone Shire Council’s strategic road network provides a transport link to service the Capricorn Coast’s northern growth corridor as well as a critical alternate evacuation and supply route during natural disasters.
The $19 million, jointly-funded local and state government project is 3.8km long and traverses through very steep terrain. This terrain required expertise in large scale cut & fill, embankment stabilisation, significant retaining wall structures up to 20m high and large scale Bebo Arch bridge drainage culverts.
Given the unpredictability of the conditions on a site which was in an environmentally sensitive area, JRT faced a number of challenges regarding the need to rectify poor/unsuitable subsurface ground conditions. JRT still managed to deliver the project on-budget and ahead of schedule.
Parkhurst Shopping Town & Intersection Upgrade
JRT was engaged to undertake works on behalf of AHC limited to upgrade an Intersection on the Bruce Highway in North Rockhampton. The intersection of Boundary Road and Bruce Highway (Yaamba Road) required an upgrade including widening, drainage upgrade and the installation of an Electronic Traffic Signal to allow for an increase in traffic flow due to the Parkhurst Shopping Town Centre.
As this project was situated on the busiest Highway in Australia, the traffic management component of this project was highly complex. This required a multi-staged plan of which included multiple alignment changes to account for the different portions of work. The AADT on site was >10,000 vehicles/day on average with peaks of >20,000 vehicles/day. JRT Civil was proud to report to its client that at the time of Practical Completion of works, there had not been any Lost Time Injuries or any on site injuries to workers or members of the public despite heavy traffic and complex scope of works.
Yeppoon Lagoon
JRT completed the civil works for the now iconic Yeppoon Lagoon. In collaboration with multiple levels of government JRT was able to contribute to this unique project which has changed the landscape of the Yeppoon foreshore and helped drive tourism and economic development in the region!
