Curry Project Management was responsible for the widening and reconstruction of Pretty Pine Road in Deniliquin. The project aimed to enhance road safety and improve traffic flow by expanding the road width from 8 meters to 11 meters. Additionally, CPM oversaw the complete pavement reconstruction using a two-coat bitumen spray seal for long-term durability. The project also included the installation of six box culvert stormwater crossings to enhance drainage infrastructure and mitigate flood risks.

Key areas of responsibility included:

• Road Widening: Managing the expansion of Pretty Pine Road from 8 meters to 11 meters, ensuring improved traffic flow and safety for road users.
• Pavement Reconstruction: Supervising the complete reconstruction of the road’s pavement, including applying a durable two-coat bitumen spray seal.
• Stormwater Infrastructure: Coordinating the installation of six box culvert stormwater crossings to improve drainage and reduce flooding risks.

Specific Responsibilities Under the Contract
The project management team was tasked with:

• Demolition and Removal: Supervising the demolition and removal of the existing road pavement and any associated infrastructure to prepare for the road widening and reconstruction works.
• New Pavement Construction: Overseeing the reconstruction of the road, ensuring the proper preparation of subgrade, base, and surface courses, and sealing the surface with a two-coat bitumen spray for enhanced durability.
• Stormwater and Drainage Management: Managing the installation of six box culvert stormwater crossings, ensuring proper alignment and integration with the existing drainage system to enhance water flow and mitigate flood risks.

Procurement, Delivery & Site Management

CPM managed the procurement process by sourcing materials and selecting qualified contractors through a structured tendering process. This approach guaranteed high-quality materials and services that met project specifications. During delivery, CPM oversaw logistics to ensure that all materials, such as bitumen and culverts, were delivered on time and handled appropriately. Site management included supervising day-to-day activities, maintaining safety protocols, and ensuring that the work was carried out efficiently to avoid delays and cost overruns. CPM supervised on-site operations to ensure that construction activities aligned with the project schedule. The team actively managed contractor performance and implemented safety protocols to safeguard both workers and the community. The project site was managed to minimise traffic disruptions, maintain clear communication with stakeholders, and ensure quality control throughout each phase of construction.

Submissions & Compliance

CPM ensured that all project submissions met local and industry standards, managing the approval process for design, construction, and final commissioning. Compliance included adhering to road safety regulations and environmental standards. CPM prepared detailed documentation and submitted reports for review and approval, facilitating seamless communication with local authorities and stakeholders to secure necessary project permissions.

Contractor Coordination
The project management team ensured that the contractor:

• Site Preparation: Established the work site, conducted all necessary site clearing, and removed any debris to facilitate the road widening and reconstruction.
• Surveys and Alignment: Conducted precise surveys and ensured the road widening and culvert installation were aligned with the approved design specifications.
• Waste Management: Managed all waste removal and disposal activities, ensuring minimal disruption to the surrounding environment and communities.
• Testing and Commissioning: Completed all necessary testing and commissioning of the new road pavement and stormwater infrastructure to verify compliance with the project’s quality and safety standards.
• Site Restoration: Restored the worksite to its original condition after project completion, removing all temporary structures and ensuring no lingering environmental impacts.

As-Built Construction Data
CPM was responsible for ensuring that the contractor maintained accurate and comprehensive as-built construction records throughout the project. This included detailed documentation of design changes, particularly in relation to the road widening and stormwater installations. The as-built records were compiled and submitted electronically to the principal, ensuring compliance with project requirements and facilitating smooth final inspections and approvals.

Through effective project management, CPM successfully delivered the Pretty Pine Road widening and reconstruction, significantly enhancing road safety and stormwater management, and ensuring long-term durability and functionality for the Deniliquin community.
