South East Transit Project – Section 1B
Wedged between major cultural and business facilities, Section 1B Extension required Bielby Holdings to construct a cut and cover tunnel directly under the loading dock of the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre and the concrete carriageway between Melbourne Street and Ernest Street in South Brisbane.
All of the work had to be carried out with one singular point of access on to Melbourne Street and under and beside a very busy Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre, South Brisbane rail line and station.
- Scope of work included:
- Extensive soil nailing
- Tunnel excavation
- Tunnel lighting
