Updated drainage specifications recently published

4/2/2025

 
Level5Design continues to work closely with the Public Transport Authority (PTA) on updates to a range of different rail sector construction specifications.

We are pleased to announce the updated Design of Drainage for PTA Infrastructure has been recently published.
​
8880-450-090 - Specification - Design of Drainage for PTA Infrastructure can be found on the PTA Vendor Panel and is available for use. 

A major focus of the updates has been on improving sustainability outcomes in infrastructure projects, this included sustainability requirements, storage and stockpiling of materials and disposal of materials.

We hope to see a significant change in more sustainable material use across the transport portfolio and industry as these specifications as rolled out over the coming years.

Achieving better circular economy outcomes

25/10/2024

 
Our Managing Director, Peter Damen, will be sharing his insights on engineering the circular economy: from design to decommissioning at an upcoming Engineers Australia online event on 26 November 2024.

Peter will be delving into ways to get better circular economy outcomes during the construction phase, showcasing the use of sustainable materials in road and rail projects. He will discuss collaborative industry mechanisms to fast-track the update of more sustainable materials in roads, railways, and ports, demonstrating how recent initiatives have contributed to reducing environmental impact and promoting circularity in infrastructure development.

Other speakers will cover other parts of the design to decommissioning process. Please join us online for this interesting event.

Updated concrete specifications have recently been published!

25/10/2024

 
Over the past 2 years Level5Design (L5D) has been working closely with the Public Transport Authority (PTA) on updates to a raft of different rail sector construction specifications. L5D has put considerable effort into the review and major update of three construction specifications relating to the use of concrete materials on rail projects across Western Australia, as follows:
​
  • PTA Specification 8880-450-020: Design of Concrete
  • PTA Specification 8880-450-021: Concrete Durability
  • PTA Specification 8880-450-028: Sprayed Concrete

We are pleased to announce that these three specifications have now been published on the PTA Vendor Panel and are available for use. 

A major focus of the updates has been on improving sustainability outcomes in infrastructure projects, and in encouraging the use of low carbon and recovered materials in fit for purpose applications.

We hope to see a significant change in more sustainable material use across the transport portfolio and industry as these specifications as rolled out over the coming years.

Great turn out for the Mining Industry Emerging Products Summit

22/8/2024

 
There was a great turn out yesterday at the Mining Industry Emerging Products Summit, hosted by Innovate Australia, and moderated by our Managing Director, Peter Damen.

A big thank you to our guest speakers for such captivating presentations - Mauricio Olivares, Matt Devlin, Colleen Yates and Jakub Wilchelm.

Thank you also to the sponsors including the Green Deal Alliance, Regional Development Australia Perth and others.


Some of the key messages included the need to 'do things differently', 'to share the effort', and 'to accelerate change'. The substantial sustainability benefits of using mining products in local WA infrastructure projects was also highlighted. This was summed up by one of the speakers, Mauricio Olivares, "Are we going to continue to do what we have been doing, or are we going to add value? Because the cost of not adding value will be much more."

Upcoming event: Mining Industry Emerging Products Innovation Summit

29/7/2024

We are excited to pe a part of another Innovation Australia Summit in August, with Level 5 Design's Managing Director, Peter Damen, as MC/Moderator.

The Mining Industry Emerging Products Innovation Summit hosted by Innovate Australia brings together leading mining experts, environmental scientists, and policy influencers. The Summit will explore cutting-edge technologies and methodologies to re-use and transform mining tailings into valuable products.

Focusing on the sustainability and circular economy within the mining sector, the event aims to highlight the effective strategies for tailings management, resource recovery and environmental rehabilitation. This event by Innovate Australia marks a crucial step in promoting environmental stewardship and operational efficiency in the global mining landscape.

Project approved!

25/7/2024

 
We are excited to be a part of another great project that has been approved. The $160 million development received the green light to add Towers 3 and 4 to the Burswood Peninsula. The development near Belmont Racecourse will include 204 apartments across the two towers and 385 parking bays.

Green light for another of our community-based projects

10/7/2024

 
It is great to see another of our community-based projects approved by the development assessment panel. The multi-million-dollar proposal to build an assisted living centre near Rockingham, for people living with neurological conditions was unanimously approved.

The 12-unit development will provide safe residences to those with multiple sclerosis and other neurological conditions. 
​
Well done to those on the Level5Design team who recently supported this project!

National Classification Scheme for On and Off Road Users

8/7/2024

 
We are very pleased to announce that once again we will be working with Austroads, this time over the next 2 years, to support road managers to obtain accurate insights into current usage of their road networks for a range of different vehicle types and active transport modes. This includes obtaining valueable insights on the utilisation of evolving data collection technologies such as advanced video capture and analysis and AI.

This major project also has an objective to identify suitable solution(s) for bicycle and micromobility detection systems at traffic signalised intersections.

The project involves the field testing and analysis of proof-of-concepts for vehicle and non-vehicle classifications and the development of an updated Australian and NZ road classification scheme and guidelines. It builds on a previous L5D project we conducted with Austroads to develop the Austroads-23 classifications scheme - see AP-R695-23 | Austroads for a freely downloadable copy of the report.

The way we use our road networks and the vehicles and people travelling on them are continually changing. The project will enable road managers to adopt a uniform, consistent and up to date approach to the way we classify users of our road systems across Australia and New Zealand.

Innovation Australia Summit June 2024

What Does the Realistic Future of Transport Look Like?

Level5Design's Managing Director, Peter Damen, kicked off the Innovation Summit yesterday on the Future of Transport. There was lots of interesting discussion around IA, Hydrogen, EV's, drones, human centric cities and the need for behavioural change.

Great event to be a part of and we look forward to supporting Innovate Australia's next event!

Celebrating 6 years in business...

18/3/2024

 
Okay, so we will be the first to admit that we have been too busy these last few years cranking out good work to post much news. We have been doing some really great things and we would love to tell everyone about it. Maybe 2024 is the year for posting more news? We have some really positive announcements coming up soon so please watch this space for more updates. 

In the meantime, we have taken the time to share some candid shots of the L5D team over the last few years. Enjoy!
