Constructing a new seawall to protect the Cribb Island foreshore

Hall Contracting was engaged by Brisbane Airport Corporation to construct a seawall and site access roads as part of Phase Two of the $1.3 billion New Parallel Runway Project.

The project involved constructing up to 1720m of seawall to protect the existing Cribb Island foreshore at the northern end of the new runway. The new structure extends from Old Cribb Island Jetty to the fire training area and includes a new beach access ramp for emergency service vehicles.

The team also delivered approximately 1km of new sealed site access road within the overall project footprint. This was an extension to the current site road network and includes a heavy vehicle slip lane and off-ramp structure to provide a direct link from Moreton Drive to the new parallel runway site.
