Southern Apron Expansion

Client:  APAM -Australian Pacific Airports Melbourne

Head Contractor: Fulton Hogan

Location: Tullamarine Airport, Melbourne VIC

Timeline: 24 Months

The Southern Apron Expansion Project further enhanced the demand for critical aircraft parking and freight spaces which would be required to accommodate expanding operations at Melbourne’s Tullamarine Airport due to the construction of Terminal 4.
Oak Park Tullamarine scope included all associated concrete works related to the project including over 100,000m² of 500mm thick PCC pavement, 1,675 linear meters of grated drainage works, over 30 light mast, and over 220 various sized pits spread across the project.
During peak periods, Oak Park Tullamarine was required to operate 24 hours a day, while still maintaining consistent pours exceeding 650m³ a day.

Papa Uniform & Gulf Slab Replacement (PUGs)

Client: APAM -Australian Pacific Airports Melbourne
Head Contractor: McConnell Dowell
Location: Tullamarine Airport, Melbourne VIC
Timeline: 36+ Months

To maintain the safety and reliability of Melbourne’s Tullamarine Airport, it was necessary to replace a significant number of aged and damaged concrete slabs.

Oak Park Tullamarine undertook most concrete works related to the project including over 61,000m² of 500mm thick PCC pavement, and all associated grated drainage works and pits. Due to the nature of works, it was necessary for the project to be strategically staged over the 36-month duration to ensure limited disruptions to the ongoing daily airfield operations.
Oak Park Tullamarine was therefore required to adhere to reduced timeframes and strict deadlines, all of which were achieved.

Springvale Level Crossing Removal

Head Contractor: McConnell Dowell
Location: Springvale Road, Springvale VIC
Timeline: 12 Months

The Springvale Level Crossing Removal formed part of the Victorian State Government’s commitment to removal 50 of Victoria’s most dangerous level crossings. To achieve this, the railway tracks were relocated underground and a full refurbishment and upgrade of Springvale Station was undertaken.

Oak Park Tullamarine undertook all aspects of formwork, reinforcement and concrete works associated with the basement slabs, storm water retention and platforms 1 & 2.

McKinnon Level Crossing Removal

Client: Level Crossing Removal Authority
Head Contractor: John Holland
Location: McKinnon Road, McKinnon VIC
Timeline: 14 Days

The McKinnon Level Crossing Removal was again part of the Victorian State Government’s commitment towards the removal of Victoria’s 50 most dangerous level crossings. The project was one of four undertaken simultaneously in Melbourne’s inner east.

Due to the large scale and impact of the required works, it was mandatory this section of the Frankston railway line be under full occupation for 37 days. Oak Park Tullamarine was given a strict timeline of 14 days to complete over 12,000m² of blinding and 12,000m² of structural basement slabs. The scope and complexity of these works required multiple gangs pouring around the clock, and additional teams on standby for the full 14-day duration to ensure all works were completed on time.
