General Modifications and First Principles
RSA has specialised for many years in assessing unique safety hardware layouts and designs in brownfield sites. Issues often relate
Ballarat- Carngham Road, Delacombe, Victoria
Drivers had been frequently disregarding emergency signals at a Fire Station.
Bridge Protection Beam, Burwood Highway, Melbourne
A rail bridge passes over a road at an angle, with its collision protection beams parallel to the bridge. Skewed crash beams are discouraged by some authorities due to concerns about shunting loads into adjacent areas.
Tarrawarra Winery, Victoria
RSA was requested to assess the risk of agricultural farm machinery entering a proposed roof-top car park, and potentially beyond the edge of that car park towards a museum and café.
Gwydir Highway, Inverell, NSW
The pre-existing intersection had an offset and angled T-intersection. The project connects the offset road to the intersection via a 4-leg roundabout able to accommodate large trucks.
Myers Creek Road, Healesville, Victoria
Motorcycle road safety treatments on Myers Creek Road, Healesville, Victoria over 14km.
Springvale Road, Nunawading, Melbourne
The project aimed to create a more welcoming space for pedestrians and open up the connection and wayfinding to and from the other commercial areas. This was to be done with landscaping, improved separation of pedestrians and vehicles, compliant ramps, upgrading assets, and reviewing parking arrangements and surfacing.
Glenelg Highway, Delacombe, Victoria
Pedestrian / cyclist and LATM facilities were proposed over ~3km, converting existing footpaths to shared paths, and at some locations have a dedicated bicycle-only path.
North East Link, Melbourne
The audit team assessed the permanent-state design for the new shared paths associated with freeway adjustments.
Gateway Upgrade, Sydney
The project was considering installing a continuous rail with a decorative element into the surface of the ATL (shared path).
The rails would have been composed of a stainless-steel surface intended to be flush with adjacent pavement.
