The Year in Infrastructure 2007 - (Page 76) CIVIL DISTRIBUTED ENTERPRISE Tullamarine Calder Interchange Alliance Project Parsons Brinckerhoff Australia P/L This major upgrade of a freeway junction is a critical link in Melbourne’s arterial road network, carrying more than 170,000 vehicles each day. It was particularly challenging because it is one of the busiest interchanges in Australia. It was also the first time in Melbourne’s history that a government body had entered into an alliance for a civil project in which the owner, designer, and constructor were bound by a single agreement. The timeline was fast-tracked as construction commenced prior to the completion of design. This made it even more important to ensure that the correct drawings were at the fingertips of those who needed them. using MicroStation, ProjectWise, and InRoads, Parsons Brinkerhoff implemented a managed environment that provided a standardized workflow for all the various disciplines that worked on the project. F.E. Weymouth Oxidation Retrofit Program — 36” Washwater Return Pumpback Line Richard Brady & Associates Southern California is upgrading and retrofitting its water treatment plants to meet government regulations, which state that water utilities must comply with mandated levels of disinfectants/disinfection by-products. Richard Brady & Associates was responsible for performing this $5.4 million component of the project. ProjectWise helped the project teams coordinate conflicts with other disciplines and provided instantaneous real-time views of the portions of the overall project as it developed. In addition, it enabled multiple consultants to be located in different geographical areas but still access current files, allowing the firm to accomplish more work in less time. Also, the design team used MicroStation and InRoads to properly and accurately lay out the horizontal and vertical alignment with minimal effort. 76 THE YEAR IN INFRASTRuCTuRE 2007
