Guardian Gantry at Cross River Rail's
Roma Street Station
16th April 2021
While construction powered ahead at Cross River Rail’s Roma Street station, there became a need to keep pedestrians safe during the construction. Let us show you how we installed a gantry to protect the public, and keep the site moving.
Our Client's Brief
Our client, Cross River Rail, needed a 10kPa-rated gantry to ensure pedestrian safety and maintain access to the train station during adjacent construction. The gantry needed to be quickly installed in one night, and crane access wasn’t possible. As this was public property, the gantry needed to be well-presented.
Watch the video below to see how the gantry is presented onsite at Cross River Rail.
Our Solution
We installed a 25m-long tunnel of freshly-painted 7.5m wide gantry. The wide span allowed easier social distancing. It took 4 hours to install with a forklift, and pedestrian access was maintained to the train platform at all times.
The Result
Our client has confidence in their site safety as they are fully compliant with the WHS Act and pedestrians are safe. Our client optimised their efficiency and minimised downtime in their program. Our client has improved their brand image with a high-profile gantry to greet the public to the station.
