| KBR appointed contract administrators for intersection upgrade KBR (NYSE: KBR) announced it has been awarded a contract by the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) to provide contract administration, design and construction verification services for the upgrade of one of Queensland's busiest intersections, at Mains and Kessels roads in Brisbane, Australia. This award follows the recent completion of the Darra to Springfield Transport Corridor project, another large road and rail infrastructure project for TMR, in which KBR also played a major role, including design and project verification. For the Mains and Kessels roads upgrade, KBR will provide site inspection and surveillance services, review technical design and construction documentation, monitor the effectiveness of management systems and ensure that project risks are appropriately identified and managed. This project will provide a short underpass beneath Mains Road for Kessels Road traffic with improved turn and intersection lanes and new provisions for buses, pedestrians and cyclists. This intersection is one of Queensland's busiest with an average of over 90,000 vehicle movements per day. Separating Kessels Road traffic from Mains Road traffic will improve safety and travel times and provide a more efficient and reliable intersection with capacity to accommodate future traffic growth. write your comments about the article :: © 2011 Construction News :: home page |
