Project Highlights
Defence
Osborne Naval Shipyard
The Osborne Naval Shipyard is the nation’s premier naval industry hub and arguably the most technologically advanced naval shipyard in the world. It is the prime location for any company pursuing opportunities in defence or commercial shipbuilding and ship sustainment projects. The world class precinct recently underwent a major $500 million expansion as part of Australian Naval Infrastructure’s expansion and modernisation program. Australian Naval Infrastructure is the owner, developer and manager of the precinct, and Mauricio was engaged as the independent verifier for the electrical and communications works for the precinct.
Roads
North East Link (NEL)
North East Link is the biggest ever investment in Melbourne’s north east – changing the way people move around Melbourne. The 6.5km North East Link tunnels from Watsonia to Bulleen will fix the missing link in our city’s freeway network, take 15,000 trucks off local roads a day and reduce travel times by up to 35 minutes. Upgrades to the Eastern Freeway and M80 Ring Road will include new lanes, smart technology and a seamless connection to the North East Link tunnels. Mauricio was engaged as the electrical and communications lead designer for the Motorway Control Centre and the Alternate Control Centre playing a major role in the integration with the NEL tunnel services.
Roads
Suburban Rail Loop (SRL)
Suburban Rail Loop will deliver a 90km rail line linking every major train service from the Frankston Line to the Werribee Line via Melbourne Airport, better connecting Victorians to jobs, retail, education, health services and each other.
Three transport super hubs at Clayton, Broadmeadows and Sunshine will connect regional services, so passengers outside Melbourne won’t have to travel through the CBD to get to employment, world-class hospitals and universities in the suburbs.
SRL is more than a transport project - it will help reshape how our city grows in the decades ahead. The areas around the new stations will be thriving communities for people to live, work, study and play – with more diverse housing options, local services and jobs closer to where people want to live and all a short distance from a train station. Mauricio was engaged as the Operational and Control Management System (OMCS) lead for the purple package, working with Yarra Trams to relocate and upgrade their affected tram stops.
