JILKMINGGAN ROAD ALIGNMENT ROAD & INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS

LOCATION Jilkminggan, NT
CLIENT Coffey Australia on behalf of Roper Gulf Regional Council
DESCRIPTION Road and intersection improvements
PROJECT PERIOD 2020 - 2022
PROJECT VALUE $0.83M

The road upgrade was in response to existing safety concerns, non-standard road geometry, sealing of road and to improve the uncontrolled parking and pedestrian conveyance through the community amid population growth of the community. MLEI was engaged to undertake a Concept Design and Preliminary Cost Estimation. Following this, we were engaged to prepare Detailed Design and IFC documentation for the new road works including certified Cost Estimations.

We experienced project delays as a result of the community consultation, and fast-tracked particular components of the design to bring the overall project back into line – by reducing the number of concepts produced, undertaking the drainage study prior to civil design commencement, and bringing on greater resources from a design and drafting perspective. MLEI utilised our southern resources to ensure program was met. This project was delivered on time and budget.
