Webb Street Level Crossing Removal Project (Narre Warren Station)

Project Scope: 

CG&C Group businesses GMCE, Connex, CPE Construction, and Concept Rigging were engaged to complete the structural steel and platform cladding packages,

The total value of work completed was $10.8m and included 575t of steel,

Connex completed the shop drawings, whilst CPE Construction completed the steel fabrication whilst GMCE completed temporary works engineering to assist Concept Rigging during the installation,

This job was the group’s largest project to date in terms of value and steel tonnage,

It proved to be a significant undertaking in terms of shop drawings, procurement, fabrication, and installation,

The integration of the Tekla software (Tekla Structures at Connex and Tekla Powerfab) at CPE Construction, enabled the group to efficiently model, detail and procure the job in multiple phases,

During the fabrication, Connex was able to use 3D Point Cloud Scanning technology to scan the feature stair elements and overlay them to the model,

This verified that the fabrication was correct except for a handful of minor fabrication errors that were rectified prior to delivery,

This proved to be a successful outcome with all steel being installed on site without issue or the need for pre-assembly,

CPE Construction used this project to gain CC2 Certification from Steelwork Compliance Australia.
