During this project, we worked with the design subcontractor to support the main Contractor in the major expansion of the existing Bank Underground Station. The expansion aimed to increase capacity and modernise the station, which was originally opened in 1900. The works included new over ground entrances, a 2km section of new underground running line below the city of London, increased circulation and concourse space and the provision of new lifts and moving walkways.

We provided commercial, planning, and project control support for the concept design phase in the Contractor’s Early Involvement stage of the project.

The Department of Transport (DoT) Victoria wanted to replace its labour-intensive structural assessment process for heavy vehicles (HV) with an automated structural assessment process system (SAPS). The system will act as a single point of access to view, manage and conduct HV structural assessments. The aim for the solution design is automation of the entire structural assessment process for Class 1 and Class 2 Heavy Vehicles. To achieve this, DoT required assistance with solution design, a business case to secure funding, and a procurement strategy for the digital solution.

TSA Riley was initially engaged to write a short form business case for funding. Subsequently we wrote a detailed business case, which included options analyses, modelling, preparation of costings and risks (P90), and development of a benefit management plan. We also provided DoT with a procurement strategy and prepared the EOI.

As part of Brisbane’s commitment to the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games (Brisbane 2032), the Redland Whitewater Centre and the Wyaralong Dam Flatwater Centre have been nominated to host canoe slalom, and canoe sprint and rowing events respectively. Both projects are being planned with a critical focus on legacy use and benefits, both before and after Brisbane 2032.

The Redland Whitewater Centre will comprise a ~220m competition channel, circular easy river and a central lake, along with plant infrastructure, amenities, storage and other supporting facilities (including 8,000 temporary seats for Brisbane 2032). It will be accessible by the community for sport and recreation, and athletes for elite training and international level competitions, increasing visitation and tourism for the Redlands Coast. Another anticipated legacy use of the Redland Whitewater Centre will be as a year-round swift water training facility for emergency services personnel.

The Wyaralong Dam Flatwater Centre will host the canoe sprint and rowing events, with 9,000 temporary spectator seats and another 1,000 permanent spectator seats. As a redevelopment of the existing Wyaralong Rowing Centre, the project includes significant upgrades including a 2km 8-lane regatta course and rowing centre with training and warm up courses, boat sheds and facilities block, pontoons and finish tower, roads and vehicle parking areas. The project’s legacy use will include hosting opportunities for local, regional and international regattas, and generate additional revenue streams from other water-based sports and recreational activities.

TSA Riley was appointed as the Project Validation Report (PVR) Manager to deliver two PVRs for the Redland Whitewater Centre and the Wyaralong Dam Flatwater Centre. Each of the PVRs cover the relevant scope of a business case, and validate and provide assurance to decision-makers that the investment commitments made by the Queensland Government as a result of contractual obligations to the International Olympic Committee and Games Partners to relevant non-transport Brisbane 2032 projects are:

• Cost effective (and can be delivered within the existing budget)
• Fit for purpose and optimally scoped
• Delivered on both Brisbane 2032 and legacy use requirements
• Delivered using an appropriate delivery model including maximum private sector opportunities and where relevant private sector investment and Australian and local government funding contributions
• Delivered using a risk-based implementation plan (i.e., a plan for efficient delivery on time and budget having regard to key risks and stakeholder interests)
• Considering stakeholder and community interests.

TSA Riley is responsible for developing the PVRs and guiding the input of the technical advisors (Design, Cost, Legal, Financial/Commercial) to the PVRs. This involves management of complex interfaces and managing the inputs required to ensure that the PVRs present a compelling investment. Additionally, TSA Riley has managed assurance activities such as peer reviews and the Gateway Review.

TSA Riley’s project team is reflective of its years of collective, local experience in the leadership of complex, multi-faceted and high-profile business cases and infrastructure planning initiatives. Our team includes infrastructure experts highly skilled in the application of the Business Case Development Framework (BCDF) to social infrastructure delivering accelerated project planning that meets and exceeds the requirements of the relevant assurance frameworks, on an expedited basis. This team is further complemented by one of Australia’s leading Olympic and Commonwealth Games infrastructure specialists, Kurt Wagner who has led Olympic and Paralympic Games design teams, undertaken overlay and operational planning for both competition and non-competition venues and supported organising committees develop strategies to deliver major sporting events around the world. This combination of expertise led to TSA Riley being selected to deliver on a significant and high profile component of the proposed investment in Olympic infrastructure, and a generational opportunity to create lasting community benefits.
