Civil Infrastructure
Port of Airlie
 This prestigious development is situated in a tidal mud flat opposite the township of Airlie Beach, gateway to Queensland's Whitsundays. It will include a 240 berth marina, 365 apartments, a 140 room hotel, and ferry and bus passenger terminals. Golding was contracted to undertake the civil works for its construction.
This environmentally sensitive project required extensive liaison with government agencies to monitor water quality, log noise data and conduct wildlife surveys. Golding created sea walls to allow deep excavation in the dry bay without tidal influence, and facilitated the safe removal of over 3000 fish from the marina before its drainage.
By completion the construction will have involved 1.78km of steel sheet piling, the excavation and placement of 500,000m3 mud and 675,000m3 of residual clays & rocky material, plus dredging of 240,000m3 for an entrance channel.
Yarwun Alumina Refinery/Comalco Alumina Refinery -
Rio Tinto
 As a joint venture partner, Golding was responsible for undertaking the earthworks and civil construction for the first stage of the Comalco Alumina Refinery, at Yarwun 10km north west of Gladstone. The work included site clearance, fencing and bulk earthworks. Later work included bulk earthworks, installation of storm and sewerage services, structural concrete foundations, roads, seawater and effluent pipelines, and construction of the jetty and wharf.
Golding is currently engaged in earthworks, civil and services packages for Stage 2 of the project, now known as Yarwun Alumina Refinery.
Forgan Bridge Replacement
 This major project for the Department of Main Roads consists of the design and construction of the duplication and replacement of the existing Forgan Bridge in Mackay. The project is a new 4-lane bridge 485m long over the Pioneer River to replace the existing 2-lane bridge, plus 1000m of roadworks and intersection upgrading.
The work will be managed to maintain traffic access across the bridge at all times throughout the construction. The works are in an environmentally sensitive area, and Golding's scope of works have been extended to include management of the environmental approval process.
Sunnybank Overbridge - Queensland Rail
 This complex project involved lengthening and raising the 6-lane Mains Road overbridge at Sunnybank on Brisbane's southside. The project was carried out in a live rail environment, while maintaining traffic flow over the bridge of up to 48,000 cars per day.
Community liaison and safety issues were paramount, especially considering the site borders a school playground.
The project included relocation of services, provision for traffic, earthworks, retaining walls, noise barriers and associated works. Works also included the supply and installation of 1000m of temporary concrete barriers and relocation of gas, power, water, optic fibre and communication services.
Kogan Creek Power Station
 This $1.2 billion project is the most recent large-scale power generation project to be developed in Queensland under the State Government's Clean Energy Policy. Golding's infrastructure work for the Power Station involved site clearing and stripping topsoil, construction of three dams and four storage ponds, preparation of the power bench area, bulk excavation for the main structures, construction of the Kogan bore pipe line and pump station and construction of the concrete ROM hopper structure.
Achievements on the project included 125,000 manhours free of Lost Time Injuries, and close liaison with Traditional Owners to manage and preserve areas of Cultural Heritage Significance.
Helensvale/Nerang & Nerang/Robina Rail Duplication
These two projects for Queensland Rail were for the construction of all works for the duplication of the existing single railway line between Helensvale and Nerang, and Nerang to Robina on the Gold Coast. The Brisbane/Gold Coast region is one of the fastest growing population corridors in Australia, and construction of the second rail track allows additional services to be provided.
Works included the construction of 19 railway bridges ranging from single to 8 spans in length, using precast decks and 58t girders. Earthworks over a total of 15km included widening of the existing formation (including top 600), drainage works, relocation and construction of new noise barriers, undertrack crossings and mast foundations.
Golding achievements on these projects included developing innovative solutions for the Nerang River crossing that complied with amended environmental conditions. Works were also reprogrammed to allow early access for the construction of trackwork.
Sunstate Cement Clinker Shed Extension
 One of the main challenges of this project is the location at Fisherman Islands, Port of Brisbane. Any substantial excavations have to be effectively de-watered during the works, or the sides of the excavation just wash away. Golding has managed the installation of a fully maintained dewatering system, excavations and sheetpiling to ensure the structural integrity of adjacent structures during the works.
The project consists of major ground improvement CSM Piling, driven precast concrete piles, 110m of 5.5m high retaining walls, 150m cut and cover tunnel, earthworks/drainage works and bund construction.
Central Queensland Ports Authority 3rd Rail Receival Pit
 The construction of a new train unloader and system significantly increased the terminal's export loading capacity from 40 million tpa to 69 million tpa, making CQPA one of the nation's largest Export facilities. Golding worked in alliance with CQPA and Monadelphous.
Golding constructed 5 transfer tower footings and concrete ground slabs, and excavated the conveyor tunnel and dump station to a depth of 13m below ground. The conveyor tunnel was constructed using Bebo pre-cast concrete arches.
This highly successful Alliance project employed almost 300 people at its peak and provided an injection of nearly $60 million per annum into the Gladstone economy during construction.
Harbourtown North
 This 200 block Gold Coast canal estate has been constructed over a two year period. It commenced with elaborate kangaroo and koala relocation procedures initiated by Lewis Land some years beforehand and continuing until clearing was completed. Construction involved 4.5km of revetment wall, canal excavation and erection of three bebo arch bridges to form the two exclusive islands and surrounding area. It is a model project with respect to the use of recycled water.
Harbour Town Shopping Centre
 This project involved the four structures forming the western extension to the existing shopping centre. It included the removal of the existing carpark surfaces, pad foundations, reinforced concrete ground slabs, precast tilt up wall panels, structural steel columns and roof supporting metal decks.
Neweipa Wharf Upgrade - Weipa
 This project involved the extension of the existing wharf by 40m, including the installation of marine piles, structural steel and wharf structure and replacing existing fenders. Due to access constraints the new berthing and mooring dolphins were constructed from a piling barge. The extension of the new ship loader on the western wharf now enables the loading of two ships simultaneously.
Broadmeadows Mine - Water Management
 Construction of a system to maximise the harvest and storage of floodwater for use in coal processing. The system allowed the water to be distributed from various dams including a new 3000 ML dam via two pumps located in Eureka Creek. Each dam is linked by poly pipe of various diameters.
Broadmeadows Mine - Infrastructure
 Construction of infrastructure for a new underground longwall mine at an existing ramp in the Goonyella Riverside Mine. Work involved drill and blasting of the existing highwall; removal of Goonyella middle seam coal; removal of mud and silt by truck and dredge; compaction of overburden material; in-pit roads, and open lined and unlined drains. Golding installed in-pit conveyor ramps and constructed a tailgate pad and three maingate pads and steel Hel-cor culverts.
Clover Hill Reservoir
 Golding designed and constructed a 30ML potable water reservoir for Gold Coast Water. With a diameter of 63m and height of 10.5m, this water storage facility supplements the supply for the growing districts of Robina, Mudgeeraba and Reedy Creek.
Golding utilised an innovative pre-cast, tilt-up design developed and used successfully on a previous 53ML project in Gladstone.
The successful completion of the reservoir approx 1 month ahead of schedule was facilitated by weekly site meetings, dedication of a full-time site-based team to the project, effective communication through satellite technology and strict auditing of systems and procedures.
Helensvale Reservoir
 Golding designed and constructed a 20ML potable water reservoir for Gold Coast Water. The 12m high reservoir was constructed as a post-tensioned, precast, tilt-up structure with a steel roof supported on internal columns.
The project included 30,000m3 of bulk earthworks (rock) and 900m3 of structural concrete. It was successfully completed in a local community residential area, approx 2 months ahead of schedule.
Dalrymple Bay Coal Terminal - Rail Receival Pit No3
 The new rail receival pit at the Dalrymple Bay Coal Terminal is a large concrete retaining structure some 22m deep. The scope of works included a piled ground support retention system shotcreted and anchored for stability, conveyors and concrete conveyor tunnel. This package of work is part of the Dalrymple Bay Coal Terminal X7 expansion program.
Gladstone Port Access Road
 This project was constructed in a joint venture Partnership arrangement by Golding and delivered under a partnering arrangement for the Department of Main Roads. The works consisted of the construction of a 350m long concrete bridge, associated roadworks and retaining structures. All works were carried out over live electrification of Queensland Rail's Gladstone marshalling yards and the North-South rail infrastructure.
Queensland Rail Ormeau
 As part of the SEQ Infrastructure plan, Golding have completed 7 km of rail formation duplication on the Gold Coast line. This work involved the construction of large concrete retaining walls and 2 bridges as well as the widening of the existing rail formation. Golding accelerated the handover of sections of the project to Queensland Rail to enable early access for track laying.
RG Tanna Wharf - Berth 3
 Golding project managed and undertook the civil construction component of the third wharf to increase the Gladstone Port's capacity from 30m tonnes a year to 40m tonnes. The project included widening of the existing approach jetty by two deck girders, infill of two areas of deck voids of the first berth, and construction of the third berth.
Sovereign Island
 Golding constructed revetment walls and channels for this prestige residential estate on the Gold Coast. Work included the bridge construction, dredging and civil infrastructure for housing blocks. This environmentally sensitive development relied on close contact with the EPA and included acid sulphate soil management and constant water quality monitoring.
