Gold Coast Airport Joint User Hydrant Facility
- Location - Coolangatta, QLD
- Completion Date - November 2018
- Value - $6 Million
- Client - Gold Coast Airport Corporation
The Joint User Hydrant Infrastructure (JUHI) project involved the extension of existing fuel lines on the domestic aircraft apron of the Gold Coast Airport. SEE Civil successfully relocated the jet-fuel main from Bay 10 to Bay 7. This project was integral to ensuring the airport could facilitate increased international demand prior to, during and immediately following the 2018 Commowealth Games.
SEE Civil particpated in an early contractor involvement process for the project assisting the client to develop the scope and undertaking a cost benefit analysis prior to commencment due to the complexity of the works and the interface required with the machanical and electricla contractor.
Throughout construction, SEE Civil developed an excavation and staging technique that reduced impacts on the existing apron and provided time and cost benefits to the project.
Scope of works
- Airside underground service location and demolition of existing service features to expose the fuel main near the valve chamber
- Trenching, shoring and dewatering across the aircraft apron to construct new fuel line
- Construction of concrete structures including valve chamber pits and hydrant biscuit slabs
- Safe removal and relocation of spoil from a highly sensitive operational area
- Development and implemnetation of Construction Environmental Management Plan including specifics around the management of PFAS and acid sulfate soil materials.
- Detailed geotechnical testing to identify potential soil volatilities
