Burswood Point Civil Works

Tracc Civil was the principal civil contractor for Precinct A West, covering North Park, the Perth Racing carpark and West Park Boulevard. The works established the underground services, access, road infrastructure, retaining structures and carparking required to support the staged development of the former racecourse land.

The site combined acid sulphate soils, coal fly ash, soft Swan  River alluvium and high groundwater with an operating racecourse and  sensitive foreshore interface.    Tracc Civil sequenced works around racing and training requirements,  maintained patron access and installed services beneath the racing surface  using trenchless methods. Deep sewer construction incorporated trench boxing,  staged dewatering and close survey control.    As parallel work fronts increased, service crews expanded from two to six  with additional supervision, survey support and plant.

  • Deep gravity sewer with 722.5 metres of pile and keel support  
  • 215 metres of DN225 microtunnelling
  • Four thrust bores of approximately 148 metres each  
  • Water, gas, power and telecommunications infrastructure    
  • Stormwater drainage and dewatering  
  • Four thrust bores of approximately 148 metres each  
  • Bulk earthworks and pavement construction    
  • Kerbing, footpaths, streetlighting and roundabout works  
  • More than 600 metres of limestone retaining and cantilever walls
  • Temporary parking and a permanent 384-bay carpark

The project demonstrates Tracc Civil’s capability in brownfield  land development, deep underground services, trenchless construction and  staged delivery beside an active venue. It also reflects the practical  coordination maintained by the project team across the client, authorities,  consultants and specialist contractors.
