SUMMARY:Hope Island Station - Delivering an Infill Station on a Bridge in a Floodplain with Zero Weekday Possessions
DESCRIPTION:Join the RTSA for a technical presentation on Hope Island Station\n \nHope Island Station is a new “station in the sky” on the Gold Coast line\, built on a viaduct across a floodplain with zero weekday possessions. The project demonstrates how outstanding design delivers exceptional construction\, interface\, and quality outcomes. The team overcame challenges rarely encountered in rail\, including constructing motorway bridges within millimetres of new structures\, pioneering OHLE designs to minimise isolations\, managing earthworks affecting bridges on soft soils\, and designing elevated platforms for wind-induced step gaps. Through collaborative delivery\, Queensland Rail\, CRRDA and AGJV transformed complex constraints into lasting benefits for passengers and the community. \nPresented by: \n \nJordan Bloxham\, Delivery Manager\, CRRDA \n  \n  \n  \n \nChris Boyte\, Construction Manager\, AGJV \n  \n  \n  \n  \n \nDaniel Buntine\, Project Delivery Manager\, QR \n\n\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \nFor Catering purposes:\nIf you plan on attending in person\, Please utilise the ticket option \nIf you plan on attending virtually\, Please utilise the RSVP option
