Road, Rail, Airport and Transport Projects
Calliope River Bridge Rehabilitation - Stage 2
 This $4.2 million Department of Transport and Main Roads project was for the civil construction works associated with the repairs of Calliope River Bridge, Gladstone. Structural work to rehabilitate the bridge began in May 2011. The project included widening the existing headstock; construction of two 1550mm cast-in-place piles, supply and placement of reinforcement and concrete; and construction of a post tensioned pile cap, and post tensioning strands.
Cleveland-Redland Bay Road - Beveridge Road Intersection
 The Cleveland-Redland Bay Road Upgrade was part of TMR's Redlands Corridor Project aimed at improving three road sections in the Redlands area. In October 2010, Golding began construction of the Beveridge Road intersection improvements for stage one of the Cleveland-Redland Bay Road Upgrade. The intersection was used by an average of 18,000 vehicles per day, making traffic control and traffic management a significant aspect of the construction planning. The $3.6 million project involved duplicating from two lanes to four, demolition of existing structures, pavement construction, construction of culverts, earthworks and landscaping. Construction was completed in August 2011.
Blunder Rd Stages 6 and 7
 Stages 6 and 7 of the Brisbane City Council's $55 million upgrade of Blunder Road involved a 2.5 kilometre deviation and upgrade of the road to four lanes, the removal of an existing bridge and the construction of two new bridges over Blunder Creek. The scope of works also included the installation of street lights and traffic signals, 1.5 kilometres of new noise barriers, 70 thousand square metres of earthworks and extensive landscaping. Although a large amount of the original project duration was lost to severe weather conditions, the project was delivered on time and under budget.
Gap Creek Road Upgrade
 Gap Creek Road was formerly the most regularly used unseal road in Brisbane. The upgrade now allows commuters to make the journey from Kenmore Hills to The Gap through Mt Coot-tha Forest Park on a wider, sealed and safer road. This Brisbane City Council project involved replacing an existing single lane bridge with a two lane bridge, widening roads, installing street lighting, sealing 1.1 kilometres of road and creating fauna underpasses to protect surrounding wildlife.
Kirkwood Road Stage 3, Gladstone
 Kirkwood Road Construction Stage 3 was the final stage of Gladstone Regional Council's initiative to reduce the peak hour congestion in the city centre. This $17.6 million project completed the Gladstone ring road, extending 2.4 kilometres of road between Glenlyon Road and Benaraby Road, with Glenlyon upgraded to a traffic light intersection. The project involved the construction of four kilometres of sealed road, four culverts to divert Tondoon Creek along the roadway for 400 metres, 185 thousand cubic metres of embankment and blasting more than 200 thousand cubic metres of rock. Over 95 per cent of the fill used for constructing the embankments was blasted rock sourced from the site.
Park Ridge Park and Ride
 This Translink civil works project has made public transport a more viable option for those making the daily commute in Logan. The facility, which is situated in Park Ridge at the Mount Lindesay Highway and Crest Road intersection, improves access to public transport for people living in Boronia Heights and south and western Logan City. The project included the construction of a car park built to accommodate 500 vehicles, a water course running though the site with two culvert systems, the installation of a security system and extensive landscaping.
Noosa Junction Bus Station
 The Noosa Junction Bus Station and car park reconfiguration was a Translink project aimed at encouraging the use of public transport and improving traffic congestion in surrounding areas. The construction took place at the southern end of Noosa Junction at the intersection of Cooyar Street and Sunshine Beach Road near a local shopping precinct. The project included the construction of two platforms with seven bus stops across both, safe drop-off and pick up areas and facilities for bus drivers including a store room and kitchenette. The development also included hanging gardens, a travel information pod, restrooms and an attractive courtyard with timber seating and timber shade battens.
Forgan Bridge Replacement
 This major project for the Department of Transport and Main Roads included design and construction of the duplication and replacement of the existing Forgan Bridge in Mackay. The project included 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 was being managed to maintain traffic access across the bridge at all times throughout the construction. The works were located in an environmentally sensitive area, and Golding's scope of works included management of the environmental approval process.
Gladstone Regional Airport Reconstruction
 Golding has recently completed the major upgrade of the Gladstone Airport for the Gladstone Regional Council. The scope of work included: Earthworks, drainage, bridgeworks, roadwork's and heavy aircraft pavements. The project was carried out under tight security requirements in a live airside environment. The runway was reconstructed and extended to allow continued operation of the Q400 aircraft currently servicing Gladstone. Further works to widen the runway, facilitating A320 Jet aircraft operations and the implementation of the ILS (Instrument Landing System) are now being undertaken.
Kirkwood Road Stage 2, Gladstone
 Kirkwood Road Construction Stage 2 consisted of approximately 2.7 km of sealed road to DMR highway standards, and a free standing bridge. In order to develop the road, a major earthworks program was undertaken, with two hill cuttings along the road corridor. Stormwater drainage was developed along the length of the road including batter chutes, subsoil drains, and culverts.
University of the Sunshine Coast Bus Station
 This civil works project for Translink included the construction of three bus platforms, structures and associated infrastructure including stormwater, sewer, water, electrical, communications, security and landscaping. The project is located in the grounds of the University of the Sunshine Coast.
Scottsdale Drive
 This project for Robina Land Corporation involved duplication of the existing road 2.5 km long to four lanes. The scope included minor earthworks, gravel pavements, kerb, hotmix surfacing, linemarking, and culvert extension. The project also included duplication of 240m of Laver Drive. Golding successfully maintained access for property owners and businesses during construction.
Mains Road Rail Overbridge
 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.
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 to 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. 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.
Gladstone Port Access Road
 The Gladstone Port Access Road was constructed in a JV 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.
Yeerongpilly Rail Welding Facility - Queensland Rail
 Construction of the rail welding facility was undertaken on the brownfield site beside live rail at Yeerongilly. Golding undertook extensive demolition, earthworks, piling, concrete, building and associated works including electrical. Golding worked closely with the client’s environmental consultant on site to manage the disposal of a large volume of contaminated fill, and the protection of an endangered frog which lives in a creek bordering the construction site. The project required extensive liaison between Golding, Queensland Rail and specialist subcontractors.
Rail Overbridge, Ebbwvale
 This project was for construction of a single-span 35m bridge over live rail to service the 335ha Citiswich Industrial Estate, which was also under construction. Works included bulk earthworks, construction of roadways, reinforced earth retaining walls, traffic bridge over existing railway line and construction of concrete footpaths and bikeways. Golding managed key safety issues including working beside the rail corridor, and alongside the heavy machinery of the principal contractor on the industrial estate development.
Central Queensland Ports Authority
 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 (now Gladstone Ports Corporation) one of the nation's largest Export facilities. Golding worked in alliance with CQPA and Monadelphous. Golding constructed 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. Other contracts included the third rail Balloon Loop and signalling for coal train infrastructure. These works were carried out under live rail conditions.
