Victorian level crossing and station upgrade completion

Congratulations to the team at LAI Switchboards Australia who have delivered 10 pre-fabricated modular buildings for the new Mooroolbark and Lilydale stations as part of the Level Crossing Removal Project.

Such a great project to be part of and even better to see the finished result!

gama consulting was proud to provide engineering services with modular building manufacturer LAI Group as part of the Victorian Government’s level crossing removal project aiming to improve safety and travel time in the state’s North-East.

Several train stations are being upgraded as part of the project with gama consulting’s engineering solutions allowing for the successful transport and installation of a series of several multi-use modular prefabricated buildings at locations including Lilydale and Mooroolbark Stations.

Considerations for maintaining structural integrity of each module during transportation, lifting as well as sliding of the modules was essential during the project.

Initially documented by SEPA (South Eastern Program Alliance), the new buildings will provide facilities to accommodate a range of services areas for the general public, kiosks and staff/driver areas.

gama also provided temporary works services to ensure adequate safety measures were adopted during the installation stages.

The project has been in progress over the past year, with gama also currently involved in the design phase of Hallam Station future works.

gama consulting services included:

  • Design and detailing of sub-floor to accommodate for services and future maintenance
  • Design and detailing of the floor framing system
  • Design and detailing of structural wall and roof members to stabilise the structures during transportation and in-situ design forces
  • Design of floor framing to accommodate loads induced from lifting/sliding of the structures
  • Lifting assembly design, including lifting lugs and bars
  • Temporary works.
