HCS was selected by Seymour Whyte to provide Engineering Surveying Services to the Chandler Highway Upgrade project. Our roles in the project included Survey Management, Earthworks and survey for the new Chandler Highway Bridge.

The Upgrade:

• widened Chandler Highway to 6 lanes
• restored the Chandler Highway heritage bridge to a walking and cycling path and into its existing condition
• upgraded the Heidelberg Road and Chandler Highway intersection
• added new traffic lights at the Chandler Highway and Yarra Boulevard intersection
• built safer cycling and walking paths connecting to the Main Yarra Trail
• landscaped around the Yarra River
• improved stormwater drainage and lighting.

HCS was awarded the Engineering Surveying Services contract by Lend Lease for the $250 million Tullamarine Freeway upgrade between Melbourne Airport and Bulla Road. The works will involved widening and upgrading the freeway between Melbourne Airport and Melrose Drive. The reduction in congestion following the upgrade increased the capacity of the road corridor by up to 30 per cent.

Works involved construction of an additional lane in each direction along the section, a major upgrade to the Mickleham Road interchange, and reconstruction and widening of the English Street bridge to improve access to Essendon Fields.

HCS was subcontracted for Engineering Surveying Services by York Civil and OHL Construction Pacific after they were awarded the contract to complete the Section 1 of the upgrade, which spans Woolgoolga to Halfway Creek. The contract is for the upgrade of the section of HW10 Pacific Highway, situated between two other upgraded sections of the pacific highway: Sapphire to Woolgoolga upgrade to the south and Halfway Creek upgrade to the north.
