Lady Cilento Children’s Hospital
DESCRIPTION
The Lady Cilento Children’s Hospital (formerly
known as Queensland Children’s Hospital) will
be Queensland’s Primary Specialist Paediatric
Hospital offering 12 clinical levels, 4 basement
levels and a remote energy plant to supply
energy needs of the hospital precinct that is over
110000 m2 in total. This purpose-built facility
will incorporate the history, skills and expertise
of the staff of the Royal Children’s hospital and
Mater Children’s hospital.
UNI-SPAN SOLUTION
The package amounted to supplying and
erecting around 44,000m2 of edge protection
and 3650 tonnes of scaffolding for the duration
of the 130-week program. Over 40 Uni-span
personnel worked at the QCH site, including
skilled scaffolding labour, supervisors,
engineers, draftsmen, contract administrators,
WHS personnel and contract managers.
Uni-span also dedicated a WPHS representative
to the project, who undertook safety audits
in conjunction with the client and Uni-span
Site Supervisor to ensure all contracted
requirements, due diligence requirements and
applicable safety standards were met. Solving
the access to these work fronts, with a safe,
smart and accurate design was essential.
Other complex design solutions were the
helideck, QCHEP Cantilevered eastern façade
and Core 3 suspended special bracket scaffold.
RESULT
For the length of this contract, Uni-span had a
remarkable safety record. Despite unforeseen
general project delays, Uni-span met every
required stage of completion. Another challenge
Uni-span was successful in was the co-
ordination of scaffolding to satisfy various trades
needing access to the work face, within the
design and also within the location constraints,
due to the site’s proximity to the Mater Special
School and Stanley and Raymond Terrace road
fronts.

QCLNG
DESCRIPTION
Queensland Curtis LNG (QCLNG) will be the
world’s first project to turn gas from coal seams
into liquefied natural gas, or LNG.
This major, integrated US$20.4 billion project,
located from Western Downs to Curtis Island,
involves:
u Expanding QGC’s existing natural gas
production in the Surat Basin of southern
Queensland.
u Building a 540km buried natural gas
pipeline network linking the gas fields to
Gladstone.
u Constructing a natural gas liquefaction plant
on Curtis Island, near Gladstone, where the
gas will be converted to LNG for export.
UNI-SPAN SOLUTION
Approximately 900 tonnes of access scaffolding
solutions has been supplied to the Southern
Region (4+1), demonstrating Uni-span’s
industrial capabilities by highlighting that
Uni-span:
u Has a large quantity of stock and labour
resources to supply major industrial
construction projects.
u Doesn’t have the need to cross hire stock or
labour.
u Has a very competitive pricing structure.
u Has ongoing supply of maintenance and
support services.
u Has the support for commissioning trades
and services.
Another advantage is that logistically, Uni-span’s
yard is situated in close proximity to the site.
Order management system BizSync, also allows
Uni-span to manage the project remotely and
accurately.
RESULT
The project will draw on QGC’s extensive natural
gas expertise and BG Group’s international
experience in liquefied natural gas, at a time of
rising demand for cleaner, more efficient energy.
Importantly, QCLNG will also help to address
climate change by allowing natural gas, which
has the lowest carbon emissions of all fossil fuels,
to be transported economically around the world.

North QLD Line Crossings
DESCRIPTION
To ensure the continued reliability of electricity
supply to Far North Queensland, the existing
50-year-old 132kV transmission line between
the substations required replacement. This
replacement line will cater for future growth
in electricity demand. After all the necessary
environmental and planning approvals were
received, construction of the replacement
transmission line commenced over a two stage
approach, to allow one line to be kept in service
at all times so as to maintain a reliable supply of
high voltage electricity to the surrounding grids.
UNI-SPAN SOLUTION
The Uni-span solution which secured the
contract, was cost-effective and created the
safety measures expected for a project of this
nature.
272 tonnes of scaffold was supplied for
this project. 40m long x 12m wide birdcage
scaffolds, supported by Uni-beams were
situated either side of the highway, ensuring
that all vehicles travelling on this route were well
protected, should any of the power lines have
accidentally fallen during the transfer process.
There were a few project challenges to
overcome that the Uni-span team worked
through with our client BBUGL (Balfour Beatty
UGL), namely:
u Liaison with Main Roads.
u Consistently update and liaise with
BBUGL and the Traffic Coordination team all
while working safely and efficiently around
the highway and power line upgrades.
RESULT
The result was a protection system that ensured
safety for motorists using this highway and a
spectacular looking scaffold formation.

DESCRIPTION
The Stage 2 Richlands to Springfield Project will
provide key public transport infrastructure to
support the expected population growth in the
western corridor. The project will deliver a 9.5km
dual track passenger rail line between Richlands
and Springfield, extending the city rail network
to this rapidly growing area.
UNI-SPAN SOLUTION
Uni-span Formwork Solutions secured this
contract by providing a cost effective and time
saving solution to create the 22m wide x 12m
high arch forms which will become the support
structures for the elevated bridge. Tony Pepe,
Director of Niepe Construction Pty Ltd had this
to say, “Uni-span’s MK system has ensured
the fast assembly of a very complex structure.
Further, Niepe are concreting the arches in
one pour. Uni-span’s solution was the only one
which allowed that sequence.”
RESULT
Uni-span Formwork Solutions was able to
provide a “one pour” solution by using the
skillfully designed travelling MK system.
On completion, the $475 million project built:
u Two train stations — Springfield and
Springfield Central.
u A 9.5 km dual track rail line from Richlands
to Springfield.
u Safety and capacity improvements on the
Centenary Highway.
u Changes to the local road network with two
crossings under the Centenary Highway
from Springfield Central station to the Orion
Shopping Centre.
u A cycle path from Johnson Road, Carole
Park to the Springfield Link Bridge.
u A pedestrian and cycle path between
Springfield station and Springfield Central
station.

WICET
DESCRIPTION
Increasing demand for coal is driving Australia’s
coal export market and worldwide demand
is expected to continue to grow significantly.
In order to meet this demand, greater export
capacity is required and WICET will provide a
valuable boost to existing and future coal export
capacity for Queensland’s coal producers in the
Bowen and Surat Basins.
This $2.5 billion project will provide more than
800 jobs on site and employ approximately 120
personnel during operation.
Main components included in this project’s
scope are:
u Rail receiver dump station, handling 7600
tonnes per hour
u 5.5km long overland conveyor
u Stockyard area for 1.9 million tonnes of coal
u 2km long jetty conveyor
u Single berth with travelling ship loader
(8250 tonnes per hour)
u Channels and wharf (accepting
40000dwt – 220000dwt)
u 132kV substation, access roads,
workshops, admin offices and amenities
Once fully commissioned the export terminal
will effectively double coal export capacity at the
Port of Gladstone, exporting 80 million tonnes
per annum.
UNI-SPAN SOLUTION
Uni-span was approached to offer their expertise
on how best to form the coal conveyor tunnels,
with each tunnel measuring 950 metres in
length. Many factors needed to be considered,
not least the integrity of the waterproofing,
but also the changes in direction and safety
constraints that is of paramount importance to
the project.
The MK System Civil Engineering Kit was
chosen as the optimal system solution best
suited to overcome the obstacles presented
through varying gradients and interfaces
of square to curved junctions of discharge
chambers throughout. The high moment
connections between the MK Walers allowed
generally less equipment to be used and larger
than usual pouring platforms to be incorporated.
AGJV (Abi-group Golding Joint Venture) concluded that the versatility offered with
the MK system, jointly supplied with wall formwork systems Orma and Enkoform
VMK as well as slab formwork system Enkoflex, would best address these issues.
RESULT
The tunnels were poured in varying lengths from 15.00m up to 30.00m sections
to enable the construction sequence to best meet the gradient change points.
120Lm of MK tunnel form were supplied in total. Coupled with hydraulics to
enable a smooth strike and Ulma’s electric driving motors, the tunnel forms were
easily moved into the next position at travelling speeds of 6.2m/minute. The
tunnels internal diameter of 6.50m was consistent, with the wall thickness varying
externally from 375mm at the highest point to 700mm at the stub sides.
Uni-span were also engaged to engineer and supply formwork on the remaining
global works structures including a Barge Wharf and a 2km jetty as well as supply
the projects scaffolding needs.

Legacy Way – Smoke Duct Corbels
DESCRIPTION
Two TBM’s (tunnel boring machines), each
12.4 metres in diameter and 110 metres in
length were used to excavate Brisbane City
Council’s Legacy Way tunnel. It took each TBM
approximately 10 months to complete this
stage of the project, which will connect the 4.6
kilometre road tunnel from the Western Freeway
at Toowong to the Inner City Bypass at Kelvin
Grove. Each 2,800 tonne TBM excavated spoil
from the tunnel while lining the tunnel with
precast concrete segments forming the tunnel
wall.
Along with the TBM’s, Transcity used cut and
cover structures to construct the tunnels entry
and exit portals. In order to move to the next
stage of construction, the mechanical and
electrical fit out, Transcity was looking for an
innovative solution to assist with the installation
of corbels and smoke ducts for the tunnels.
UNI-SPAN SOLUTION
Uni-span was engaged at the beginning of
the project in the planning, procurement and
construction of the ventilation smoke duct
corbels in the Legacy Way twin 4.6km road
tunnels. A first for an Australian road tunnel, the
pre-stressed precast concrete slabs are simply
supported by cast in situ corbels. Erecting the
precast slabs post corbel construction poses
considerable challenges in terms of logistics,
geometry (space) and safety. This meant the
corbels had minimal tolerance to ensure the
critical airtight seal was achieved.
Uni-span took on the challenge by designing
and offering the MK System motorised traveller
with custom made retractable steel forms. The
MK system was selected to form the corbels in
two 50m hit and miss travellers, each traveller
had 20 hours to be lowered, driven 100m,
raised and the next section poured. Due to the
speed of this system, Uni-span also supplied
two additional advancing travellers per tunnel to
ensure that both the safe drilling of the starter
bars and also the placement of the 8m long
reinforcement cages would not hold up the
progress of the Smoke Duct Corbel traveller.
The MK System therefore created a seamless
motorised production line to ensure the
programmed 50m pour per 20-hour shift from
start to finish was achieved.
The whole solution revolved around a 700mm height difference halfway along the
tunnel. The versatility of the MK System ensured that this was a smooth transition,
demonstrating its market leading edge over all other formwork systems.
RESULT
This traveller in motion is a vision of impeccable engineering, demonstrating how
early engagement between Uni-span and our client will assist in meeting tight
project programmes and deadlines. We believe we have raised the standard and
set the bar for all future civil projects on how to solve a complex road tunnel fit out
challenge in Australia.
