heatherhill road roundabout
Project Information
Description: Robinia St and Heatherhill Rd Frankston roundabout
Location: Frankston, Victoria
Client: Frankston City Council
Duration: 5 weeks
Project Description
Constructing a new roundabout in a busy school zone requires more than good civil construction, it requires a programme built around the reality of the site. Most impactful works were deliberately scheduled within school holidays to minimise disruption to students, families
and the surrounding road network.
Frankston City Council engaged APS Civil for the full roundabout, including drainage, kerb and channel, footpath and pram ramps, exposed aggregate concrete works, asphalting, line marking, signage and full reinstatement of disturbed areas. Traffic management and diversions ran throughout the programme.
The project was completed within five weeks, with sequencing that kept the school zone functional and safe throughout.
Key Works:
- Traffic Management & Diversions
- Drainage Works
- Footpath and Pram Ramp Construction
- Kerb & Channel
- Asphalting
- Exposed Aggregate Concrete Works
- Line Marking
- Signage
- Full Reinstatement
Challenges:
- Like many people in this current time, we experienced covid related challenges that had an effect on the number of staff we had available for the job. Additionally, we were faced with limited resources which would affect how we would complete the construction process. We were also under time restraints and prioritised the project in order to get it complete before school returned for the term.
Outcome:
In order to overcome the challenges presented to us, we had to rely on our flexibility, resilience and problem-solving skills. When our lack of staff or resources began to affect the project, we re-arranged our plans in order to source new, viable solutions. This ability to adjust and adapt our schedule is what allowed us to persist and achieve the desired end result.
The project was completed in accordance with the time frame and the budget, leaving the Frankston City Council 100% satisfied with the works.
