Utilities Coordination and Design

We pride ourselves on being the specialist subconsultant of choice for the delivery of utilities coordination and design on major civil infrastructure projects. Our team comprises engineers, designers and technical specialists who each bring tier-one engineering consultancy experience. We have leveraged that big project experience to build a suite of systems and workflows tailored to the delivery of the utility coordination and design scope. We offer recent experience with relocation designs for water and sewer assets with the Urban Utilities, City of Gold Coast, Logan City Council and Unity Water areas. Additionally, we understand the design requirements for key utility authorities including Energex, Telstra, NBN, Optus, and APA gas.

We bring an in-depth understanding across all aspects of civil infrastructure delivery, including highways and rail design, procurement, contract administration, and utilities management and design. By working collaboratively with road, rail and utility authorities to foster strong relationships, which results in the development of a solid foundation of knowledge relating to each asset owner's specific requirements.

Our high-level understanding of the multi-disciplinary design integration process also enables us to challenge technical solutions, generating value for money and best-for-project outcomes. The BIM one team has delivered utility coordination and design solutions for key clients on some of Australia's largest infrastructure projects.

Feature Projects

Coomera Connector (South) - Smith Street Motorway to Nerang-Broadbeach Road

$
300 million

The Coomera Connector Stage 1 South package, spanning 4km from Smith Street Motorway to Nerang-Broadbeach Road, is currently in the construction phase. This section will include a grade-separated interchange at Southport-Nerang Road, a new intersection at Nerang-Broadbeach Road, and a 300m bridge over the Nerang River. Additionally, it will feature a 4km shared bicycle and pedestrian path, connecting local path networks for the Molendinar and Nerang communities.

BIM one worked collaboratively with the Design Joint Venture team to relocate key utility assets, ensuring seamless integration with the civil design. Maintaining effective communication with Utility Authorities to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and adherence to relevant standards for all impacted asset treatments. In coordination with the City of Gold Coast, BIM one oversaw wet services design, ensuring that water and sewer relocations met stringent WSA and SEQ Water standards. Additionally, as Principal Contractor, BIM one carried out utility site investigation works as the Principal contractor to confirm asset impacts and assist in relocation designs.

Coomera Connector (Central) - Helensvale Road to Smith Street Motorway

$
800 million

The Coomera Connector Central project scope involves multiple grade-separated interchanges, new bridge structures, and dedicated active transport infrastructure such as walking and cycling paths, with completion targeted for 2027.BIM one contributed to the project from the tender phase, working closely with key discipline leads within the Design Joint Venture to develop innovative geometric solutions that minimised � and in several instances eliminated � impacts to critical APA Gas and Telstra infrastructure. These early optimisations reduced delivery risk, avoided costly service relocations, and strengthened the overall value proposition of the submission.

Tiger Brennan Drive Overpass

$
100 million

The Tiger Brennan Drive Duplication Project upgraded the Tiger Brennan Drive and Berrimah Road intersection to a grade-separated overpass, improving safety, reducing congestion, and strengthening freight connectivity.The completed overpass now separates Berrimah Road traffic from Tiger Brennan Drive, enabling uninterrupted traffic flow while significantly improving safety and overall network performance.

The BIM one team was engaged to coordinate and manage the utility relocation scope, working closely with stakeholders to ensure seamless integration with the civil design. Through proactive authority engagement and a strong focus on compliance and constructability, the team delivered coordinated asset treatments that minimised risk and supported efficient, on-program delivery.

Coomera Connector Future Stages Business Case

$
15 billion

The Coomera Connector Future Stages Business Case involved the concept design of approximately 42 kilometres of new motorway, including multiple grade-separated interchanges, local road upgrades, and extensive interfaces with existing utility networks. Given the scale of the corridor and the complexity of utility constraints, early and strategic utilities planning was critical to informing scope, cost, risk, and staging considerations.BIM one was engaged to lead the utilities component of the Business Case.

As Utilities Lead, Michael directed all consultation, negotiation, and coordination with utility authorities, and oversaw the detailed review and analysis of existing service data, including BYDA records, GIS datasets, and as-constructed documentation. Working collaboratively with the multidisciplinary design team, BIM one identified key conflicts, developed concept-level relocation strategies, and informed construction sequencing and early works planning.

Mount Lindesay Highway JS2SS

$
95 million

The Mount Lindesay Highway project was delivered to enhance road safety, improve traffic efficiency, and strengthen overall corridor performance. Works included the removal of roadside hazards and implementation of upgraded safety treatments to reduce crash risk.

The BIM one team coordinated multiple subcontractors - combining our design and construction experience and applying engineering judgement to optimise each of the investigation processes.

Coomera Connector Stage 1 Reference Project

$

BIM was engaged directly by TMR South Coast Region, to assist with the refinement of the Coomera Connector Stage 1 Reference Design - in preparation for the release of the tender documentation to the market.

The Coomera Connector Stage 1 project involved the construction of a new 20km motorway corridor between Coomera and Nerang, including the establishment of five new grade separated interchanges with the existing road network.

BIM one worked collaboratively with the TMR project team to:

  • investigate the feasibility for series of new geometric options at the Gold Coast Highway and Smith Street Interchanges
  • prepare site investigation sketches
  • finalise resumption drawings
  • develop community consultation material (posters, drawings, flyers, newsletters)
