DRILLING SOLUTION
Project Mission
The mission of the Swan River Crossings project is to:
- Facilitate the construction of essential infrastructure for the Swan River Crossings.
- Conduct comprehensive geotechnical drilling and testing to gather crucial data for engineering design.
- Ensure the structural integrity and stability of the crossings amidst dynamic river conditions.
- Implement innovative solutions to overcome challenges posed by the project’s unique environment.
“Soil Mechanics showcases large-scale capabilities for both nearshore and land-based drilling with WSP and the Fremantle bridge alliance for the Swan River Crossings project.”
Key Objectives:
- Infrastructure Construction: Facilitate the construction of bridge crossings over the Swan River.
- Geotechnical Data Collection: Conduct extensive drilling and testing to gather essential data for engineering design and construction.
- Safety and Stability: Ensure the safety and stability of the crossings amidst dynamic river conditions and fast-flowing tidal movements.
- Innovation and Adaptation: Implement innovative solutions to overcome challenges posed by working amongst bridge piers and fast-flowing tidal movements.
The Challenge of Project:
The Swan River Crossings project faces the following challenges:
- Conducting drilling operations amidst bridge piers and between rail and traffic bridges.
- Dealing with fast-flowing tidal movements and dynamic river conditions.
- Coordinating a dynamic work front utilising self-elevating jack-up barges, marsh buggies, and supporting vessels.
- Ensuring the safety of personnel and equipment in challenging working environments.
