Main Contractor: Eastern Freeway Burke to Tram Alliance (EBTA)
Client: Major Road Projects Victoria
EBTA engaged Suas Civil to construct a 750mm thick protection slab over 260m for an existing culvert in advance of the widening of the eastern freeway. The program required approx. 35T of steel to be ties daily. Suas civil delivered the job within program by carrying out multiple 300+ m3 concrete pours. The design required a gap beneath the slab after completion. Suas implemented an innovative approach by installing a void former under the slab before pouring the concrete, along with conduits to facilitate water flow into the void former. Once the slab was completed, the water caused the void former to disintegrate, leaving the intended gap beneath the slab. Overall Suas provided:
• Formwork supply and install
• Steel fixing >35T per day
• Slab Pours >300m3
• Concrete Placement and finishing
