Injune Way

By Riccardo Musella

Jul 2020

Reinforced Earth Pty Ltd recently completed the design and supply of two abutments at Injune Way, Joondalup, Western Australia. Our client, Coleman Rail, is providing a new bridge over rail linking Injune Way to future land development. The central section of the abutments comprised 800 mm thick panels, to comply with rail collision requirements of the Australian Bridge code AS5100. Standard slender 140 mm TerraPlus+ panels made up the rest of the structure. The deep impact barrier on the bridge required large cantilevered TerraPlus+ panels up to 4 m in height, which would also double as formwork for the barrier pour. We worked closely with the client to ensure temporary works design was suited to their confined working area and satisfied rigorous rail safety requirements.

South Flank ROM walls

By Rhys Senior

Jun 2020

South Flank is a US$3.6b project that will fully replace production from the 80mtpa Yandi mine, which is expected to end its economic life in the mid-2020. South Flank iron ore project will be the largest iron ore processing facility ever built in Western Australia. Reinforced Earth were originally engaged by the consultant Jacobs in 2018 to carry out detailed design of two identical TerraMet® dump walls labelled Primary Crusher 1 and Primary Crusher 2 on the project. This progressed into the manufacture and supply of the walls through engagement by NRW holdings in 2019.

The integrated arrangement of the TerraMet® walls with the insitu reinforced concrete dump pocket (designed by others) resulted in challenges when considering differential settlement and interaction between the 2 different structures.

The complex shape of the dump pocket portion of the TerraMet® walls with a number of corners and vertical joints meant that sufficient care and regular monitoring would need to be implemented to ensure the walls were aligned at the completion of construction.
