CG+C Group, comprising GMCE, Connex, CPE Construction and Concept Rigging, was engaged to deliver the structural steel and platform cladding packages for the Webb Street Level Crossing Removal Project at Narre Warren Station. This project is part of the Victorian State Government Level
Crossing Removal Project, an initiative to remove 110 dangerous and congested level crossings by 2030, and was the largest project undertaken by the CG+C Group to date, both in terms of value and steel tonnage.
Our Solution:
Connex prepared the comprehensive shop drawings for the 575 tonnes of structural steel required, utilizing Tekla Structures, and CPE Construction then fabricated this steelwork, utilising their Tekla Powerfab software to efficiently model, detail and procure the materials in multiple phases.
During the fabrication process, Connex employed 3D Point Cloud Scanning technology to scan the feature stair elements and overlay them to the model to verify the accuracy fabrication plans, identifying only minor issues that were quickly rectified. This proactive quality
assurance measure ensured all steelwork could be installed on site, without the need for pre-assembly, without complication.
GMCE provided temporary works engineering support to assist Concept Rigging with the platform cladding
installation.
The integration of the various CG+C Group capabilities was crucial in managing the scale and complexity of
this project and it proved to be a significant undertaking encompassing shop drawings, procurement, fabrication, and installation.
The Result:
The Webb Street Level Crossing Removal Project at Narre Warren Station was successfully delivered, with the CG+C Group playing a pivotal role. The project’s significant value and steel tonnage requirements posed substantial
challenges, but the group’s coordinated approach and technology-enabled processes ensured a seamless execution.
The use of 3D scanning to validate the fabrication, coupled with the efficient modelling and procurement methodologies, enabled the installation to be completed without any major issues. This project also provided CPE Construction the opportunity to achieve CC2 Certification from Steelwork Compliance Australia, further strengthening the group’s credentials
