Recent Projects

Parramatta Light Rail

Parramatta Light Rail is one of NSW Government’s latest major infrastructure projects, connecting Westmead and Carlingford with a two-way track spanning 12 kilometres through Camellia and the Parramatta CBD. The project presented numerous environmental challenges, due to historical land uses and the proximity to numerous and sensitive environmental receptors throughout the rail corridor. Alliance continues to provide consultancy support services to the primary contractor and their subcontractors on almost all sections of the project. The scope of services provided includes material/ waste classifications, groundwater monitoring well installation and monitoring events, acid sulfate soil assessments and occupational hygiene services.

Lachlan’s Line Bridge

Lachlan’s Line Bridge, M2-Dlehi Road, Ryde NSW
This iconic double helix bridge project involved the construction of working platforms at the top of the M2 cuttings and operation of heavy lift cranes over and in close proximity to critical underground services infrastructure. Alliance delivered the design of piling platforms, including for an 800t crane and assessment of underground services, slope stability modeling, and certification. Alliance also provided a Technical expert onsite and successfully assisted a breakthrough in design review between the designers and project verifier at a critical stage of the works. Alliance also had a Senior Geotechnical Engineer onsite day and night for supervision of all piles for the bridge, ramps, retaining walls, associated clocktower construction, and other smaller structures.
The construction phase services involved certification of piled foundations by chartered engineers, bearing capacity assessments, and earthworks testing.

Sydney International Speedway

Alliance worked alongside Abergeldie Complex Infrastructure during the construction of the Sydney International Speedway project. Alliance was able to provide for the entire project 2 to 3 technicians on a full-time basis to cover the large amount of compaction and conformance testing associated with this project.

Alliance was able to guide the subcontractors working on the project to ensure they were aware of what TfNSW specifications were applicable to the project and the separate testing requirements of each specification. This allowed us to move forward in a timely manner on the most critical parts of the project.

Goonumble Solar Farm

AG undertook a geotechnical investigation to assist in the design and construction of a photovoltaic plant and substation in an area of 182 ha. Our investigation report addressed geotechnical constraints, subsurface conditions, geotechnical parameters and recommendations for the design of the proposed footings. We also provided specialist UCS and consolidation soil testing.

Bluegrass Solar Farm, Chinchilla (QLD)

Alliance provided details of the stratigraphical condition of the site, geotechnical design parameters and associated recommendations. Complex geological and ground condition of the site required detailed zonation map providing the bedrock depth and anticipated geotechnical constraints of the development. The geotechnical investigation results led to an alternative method for pile installation. The proposed development comprises the construction of a 200 Megawatts Photovoltaic Power Plant in a block of land with an approximate area of 550ha.

Proposed Playground at Karella Park, Villawood NSW

The geotechnical services provided by Alliance included an investigation to assess the surface and subsurface conditions and provide comments and recommendations relating to site preparation, temporary works, excavations, design parameters for footings and ground floor slabs, roads and pavements.
