ACCIONA and CPB Contractors have been working as joint venture partners to deliver the Western Sydney Airport Bulk Earthworks Project. The demands of the client required the partners to use sophisticated machine control technology, so as to maintain high earthwork production while meeting quality conformance targets. To tackle the challenges of the project the joint venture partners opted to deploy one of the industry's first near-real-time, continuous loop office-to-machine data workflows. The joint venture partners are having to move, fill and compact some 24 million m~3 of earth to a set of tight specifications in a short space of time. In addition, the site includes complex soil challenges as it sits on top of the Bringelly Formation, an ancient river delta system. Consequently, the material can be highly variable and reactive in some areas, and post-construction settlement is a risk. |
