Beltrame Civil was engaged by the City of West Torrens to deliver major drainage upgrade works in Fulham Park Drive, with works extending along Fulham Park Drive, Clyde Avenue, Corona Avenue, and Castlebar Road in Lockleys. In delivering the project our team installed 550 meters of new stormwater trunk mains and completed a profile and re-lay of Fulham Park Drive. This was the third phase of drainage upgrades we’ve completed to the Lockleys Catchment, following completed projects along Sir Donald Bradman Drive and Rutland Avenue in 2015/6 and May Terrace and Rowells Road in 2018
The overall scope of works included excavation and installation of approximately 550m of RCP ranging in size from DN750 to DN375; excavation and installation of RCBC ranging in size from 1200x375mm to 450x300mm; construction of 27 junction boxes and side entry pits ranging in size from 1800x1200mm to 900x900mm; and the profile and re-lay of 2000m2 of asphalt pavements.
In delivering this project our construction team successfully overcame the significant challenges of unfavourable subsurface conditions, the risk of critical destabilisation and collapse in deep excavation, and extensive service clashes.
Beltrame Civil was engaged by the City of Marion to complete complex civil works associated with a Council delivered stormwater project. The major element of these works involved the installation of a 6.2m wide, 40 tonne pre-cast junction box, as the final step to make live approximately 800 metres of upgrades to the stormwater network in Dover Gardens.
Beltrame Civil worked closely with Council’s engineering team and SA Power Networks to disconnect and reconnect overhead powerlines within a seven hour window, in order to move the custom junction box elements into position within the narrow streets. A 220 tonne mobile slewing crane was used to lift over live powerlines as part of the installation process. With our team having previously demolished a section of the existing 1200 x 900 mm underground stormwater culvert along Clacton Road, the millimetre-perfect installation of this junction box was needed to join with a new 900mm stormwater pipe trunk down Dalkeith Avenue, offering huge performance improvements to the local stormwater network.
Beltrame Civil was engaged by the City of Marion to complete the Berrima Road Culvert Crossing Upgrade. The works comprised the demolition of an existing 300 RCP road crossing and the installation of 25m of twin cell 1200 x 600 RCBC with headwalls, the installation of new junction boxes and DSEP’s, demolition of existing kerb and asphalt pavement on Berrima Road and reinstatement to DIT Standards, the construction of new kerb, gabion baskets and scour protection. The full scope of works included the demolition and disposal of existing drainage; bulk excavation of the new culvert alignment; supply & installation of 26m of twin cell 1200 x 600mm RCBC culvert crossing and headwalls; construction of 820m2 of scour protection; construction of 100m2 of gabion weirs; supply & installation of associated drainage (RCP and DSEP’s); pavement and asphalt reinstatement; and footpath and kerb reinstatement.
Beltrame Civil were engaged by the City of Mitcham to construct the new Pasadena Biodiversity Corridor. A project aimed at taking underground piped stormwater flows above ground through vegetated swales with pool and riffle elements to improve the biodiversity, sustainability and amenity of the Sierra Nevada and Grant Jacob Reserves. The project scope included bulk earthworks of over 1,000m3 to construct a new detention basin including inlet, rock armouring and spillway; construction of a 285m swale, including offtake soakage trenches, rock chutes, shallow ponds with rock lining, irrigation and new plants; supply and installation of a new Gross Pollutant Trap; supply, plant and maintenance of over 1,000m2 of new instant turf, 5,000 tubestock plants and 45 street trees; significant hardscaping and furniture installation including cement treated footpaths, softfall mulch, log steppers, wooden frog sculptures, timber tee pee, picnic setting and new play equipment; and the construction of a new irrigation system to all plant and turf areas.
Beltrame Civil was engaged by the Brown Hill & Keswick Creeks Stormwater Board to upgrade stormwater infrastructure in Brown Hill Creek, between Anzac Highway and Third Avenue, Everard Park. The project scope included demolition of the existing concrete lined channel and excavation of the creek alignment in-between 18 private properties and installation of 140m of 5000x2100mm reinforced concrete box culverts. Works also included clearance of all vegetation within the creek alignment, establishment and maintenance of significant stormwater bypass infrastructure, temporary removal and reinstatement and reconstruction of structures on private properties, construction of significant lay down areas for landing of culvert deliveries, preparation of the subgrade for the base of the culvert units, and installation of new retaining walls and fencing.
Beltrame Civil were engaged by the City of West Torrens to complete the May Terrace Stormwater Drainage Upgrade Stage 3, with works extending along Henley Beach Rd, Rowells Rd, May Tce, and Douglas St in Lockleys. The project included the construction of 650m of trunk stormwater drain, and supply and install of more than 40 junction boxes and side entry pits, and numerous connections to existing stormwater. Works were completed on both day and nights shifts and included service alterations of SA Water, DPTI and Telco infrastructure.
Project scope included construction of stormwater infrastructure along Brussels Street which comprised of 370m of reinforced concrete box culverts, junction boxes, and side entry pits. Demolition and reconstruction of 1700m2 of asphalt pavement: in addition to 450m of 150mm kerb and gutter and 600m2 of footpath and driveway interlocking paving.
The project scope included installation of the stormwater main on Kenilworth Road which comprised of 190m of 1500x750 reinforced concrete box culverts, 150m of DN1050 reinforced concrete pipe, junction boxes, side entry pits, and a drop structure. The drop structure was designed and installed by Beltrame Civil to reduce the overall length of main required to hold water and to improve access to the wet system. The project also included works for SA Water to relay the existing sewer main in Kenilworth Road and lowering of sewer connections in the trench alignment.
The project scope included the installation of over 500m of 2400x600 and 1800x600 reinforced concrete box culverts and 360m of DN1500, DN1350 & DN1200 reinforced concrete pipe.
The project presented many challenges due to unstable soil and groundwater conditions and required extensive well-point dewatering as works progressed along Rutland Avenue towards Sir Donald Bradman Drive.
Stage 1 project scope included the demolition of existing and construction of a new 400m section of DN1200 RCP drainage network. Strict access requirements for local businesses including popular fast food outlets and the City of Mitcham Council Chambers were in place during construction works.
Stage 2 project scope included demolition of existing and construction of a new 170m section of DN1200 RCP drainage network, relocation of 230m of SAPN HV and DPTI LV cables, and the construction of impact absorbing light poles and footings. Careful negotiation with DPTI allowed both projects to proceed during otherwise prohibited working hours and with minimal traffic disruptions.
The project scope included the installation of 1000m of DN2000 and DN1500 RCP drainage network including trenching through private properties within metres of existing homes. The project required extensive dilapidation surveying and working closely with affected residents to minimise traffic disruption, protect significant trees, and ensure resident safety at all times.
Demolition of existing and construction of a new 1200m section of 1800 x 900mm RCBC stormwater network including the installation of a number of complex large radius culvert splays, numerous waste and potable water service alterations and pavement reinstatement.
This project consisted of the construction of a five cell 3000x900mm culvert crossing of Port Wakefield Rd and the construction of 630m of a 1500mm and 1300mm RCP drain along Pt Wakefield Rd at Bolivar. Significant planning and liaison between Beltrame Civil, DPTI and the City of Salisbury was required to ensure that the traffic impact on the critical operation of National Highway 1 was reduced to the greatest possible extent. Through detailed planning, project management expertise and the efficiency of its crew Beltrame Civil were able to complete the culvert crossing of Pt Wakefield Rd and re-open all lanes in under 3 weeks.
