Brisbane Airport Link
Brisbane Airport link is a motorway from Brisbane business district to the North East of the city in direction of the Airport. The Brisbane Airport links features
The construction of the line has been done by segments. Parts of the line are already operating. Full completion is planned by 2024.
Dextra has been involved since between 2009 and 2011 in the design, engineering and supply of large FRP Soft Eyes for TBM entry/exit points.
Prior to D-Wall construction, Dextra engineers the FRP cage design taking into account size of the TBM, margin for error, soil forces and more design parameters.
Thanks to the properties of FRP material, Tunnel Boring Machines cut through the D-Wall in a minimum time, saving time on schedule and ensuring the perfect condition of the TBM’s head.
On this project, Dextra also supplied Griptec Couplers, used as vertical connections in the D-Walls, barrette piles and tunnel superstructures. More than 80,000 Griptec couplers have been supplied for the tunnels of the Brisbane Airport Link.
