Projects Profiles 1987 – 2018
Specialized Equipment
has been engineered and constructed to suit various projects indicated below, the equipment can now be used in the civil markets and alike, assisting the following contractors to be more efficient
Safety
The below works have been successfully completed, without a human incident for over 20 years
Confined Space
Equipment engineered and personnel trained, apply to day/night works 24/7 in the experienced projects (noted below)
Commitment
whilst 80% of most common work profiles are of a normal simplistic mode, the below experiences identify, work scopes requiring a focus on accuracies, production, and a greater degree of engineering design.
Bridges
Qty 23
Victoria, City and country regions including West Gate Melbourne, Mac-Gibson; MacRobertson, SE Freeway elevated structures; Burnley Tunnel; Phillip Island qty 10,000+ holes. Specialized equipment has been engineered to suit the following work categories
Core drilling sample of accuracies, qty of 64 blind holes, required for each core, 2 x specific angles along the vertical/horizontal axis , coring of 100mm solid steel plates and various 38/24mm diam re-bar at depths of 1.8mtrs, and maintaining 23 degrees and 6.5 degrees on the other axis, from the start to the end of the core, each cored hole confirmed less than 1 mm deflection, all holes triple checked and approved by various government bodies and 2 x Senior Bridge Engineers
Site specific, recovery of more than 100 vertical core samples, with tolerance levels of 1.5-2mm, over a depth of 8 meters deep, blind holes (not thru holes); Chainsawing 700mm deep; Floor sawing 700mm deep accurate within 2 mm
Core drilling of group patterns for bridge strengthening can be accommodated with tolerances of 1.5-2mm
Airports
Qty3 – Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane
Floor sawing to 550mm deep and core drilling into the concrete runway (high MPA) literary hundreds and hundreds of 260mm – 3-400mm diameter and depths of 250-300mm deep with an average of 10-15min p/hole.
maintaining consistencies to safety procedures, complying to air side securities, compliance to access for taxi ways and live runways, demanding efficiencies of maintaining work scopes in vertical/horizontal surfaces of core drilling, and maintaining accuracies within 1.5mm tolerance, over a distance of 4km
Trams Track Replacement Programs
Currently known as, Metro trains
Emergency and scheduled works for both country rail and tram track replacement programs over Melbourne and suburban districts , and country regions
Core drilling; small bore, medium bore cores, vertical/horizontal, with limited access eg; 25/30mm diam x 300mm deep within 500mm limited space; eg; 75mm diam horizontal x 1.8mtr deep at 700mm center distances thru train bridge abutments
Track Replacement, works for longer than 15 years
EG: Floor sawing; CBD Melbourne, various minor repair works, up to 15-20 locations, p/6.5 hr shift p/machine
Thru to high production, utilizing a qty 8 x customized 45hp saws to cut 3000 mtrs x 200mm deep asphalt with no more than 10mm deflection on the parallel line, and including a qty 320 rail cuts (D section 185mm deep) inside a 5.5 hour shift over a distance of 1.5km, and working from self provided water tanks and pumps
MMSR (Melbourne Sewer Replacement)
Qty 4 cuts, 1st time ever successfully achieved world wide, Wire sawing of 100mm thick steel lined sewer, without an explosion at depths of 10-15mtr below surface; Core drilling and Specialized Chainsawing equipment constructed and engineered to suit the cutting of 100mm thick steel/concrete lined pipe at 1.5mtr diameter
Underwater chainsawing
Thiess; Melbourne Water, a specialized 25 hp chainsaw was utilized for the cutting of approx 10mtrs x 900mm deep with various other depths of cutting on the vertical and horizontal planes, professional divers were trained on site, where at times there was a zero visibility, this complemented the equipment design, zero rate of incidents was recognized
Communications
Telstra; Production was maintained for more than 2 years, Floor sawing and Core drilling equipment designed for extreme limited access, to suit the cone shaped pits ends and adjoining p3 pits, and procedures to suit cable protection whilst floor sawing
Water storage and water reticulation
Tatura Dam Committee; Melbourne Water. Floor sawing of major water supply lines and suburban/domestic reticulation, Work scopes to various major dam retaining structures throughout Victoria, Floor sawing; Core drilling; Emergencies, and scheduled works of deep floor sawing, large bore and small deep bore core drilling up too 8mtrs deep
Fuel Stations
BP; Caltex; Shell; Mobil; Melbourne; Darwin, Northern Territory Groote Eylandt, Floor sawing, including procedures designed in 1995, to remove unsightly over-cuts on corners with particular attention to safety protocols, whilst cutting in leaking fuel stations
Food industry and cold storage
Known brand names and major food suppliers, WCC can and continues to provide a powerful 40hp 3 ph electric floor saw to depths of 450mm deep, in extreme frozen and slip hazard environments
