Carrum Level Crossing Removal, Melbourne, Victoria
As part of the Melbourne Metro level crossing removal, Carrum a suburb in south-east Melbourne, has had three existing level crossings removed and replaced by a new terminal at Station Street.
Project Design Brief
The pavement design for the station platforms needed to comprise a variety of floor finishes, including tiles, concrete and asphalt. New lighting, communications, power and security coverage were required to be installed as underground services below accessible covers for easy maintenance. Security of all cabling infrastructure was a requirement for the asset owners, as was the discreet integration of service pits along the pavement.
