WINNER: : John Holland, KBR,
VicRoads, Public Transport
Victoria, Metro Trains Melbourne,
and Level Crossing Removal
Authority – Burke-North-McKinnon-
Centre Level Crossing Removal
The project involved removing four
dangerous and congested level crossings,
the demolition of existing stations and
construction of four new modern train
stations. In a Victorian first, three level
crossing removals were undertaken
simultaneously on the same train line. The
programming, design and construction
windows were accelerated with several high
intensity construction blitzes, including a
37-day, 24-hour occupation of the North-
McKinnon-Centre Road crossing sites.
Narrow rail corridors and close proximity
to adjacent properties required the use of
sheet piling as the permanent retaining wall
system, while two crossings featured the
installation of permanent concrete “bath-tub”
structures in the rail cutting to account for
high water tables.
