Civil Construction & Road Maintenance
Since 2018, Dowsing Group has been engaged by the Public Transport Authority under the Bus Stop Accessibility Works Program (BSAWP) to deliver annual upgrades to bus stop and roadside infrastructure across metro and regional WA.

The program ensures compliance with the Disability Standards for Accessible Public Transport (DSAPT) and includes the full delivery of associated road infrastructure, including kerbing, footpaths, and concrete bus embayment construction.

This is a state-wide infrastructure program requiring management of multiple, concurrent projects under live traffic conditions. Since inception, Dowsing has delivered bus and associated road infrastructure works as head contractor, consistently meeting tight timeframes and quality benchmarks.

We have demonstrated the capability to manage a high volume of concurrent works under the PTA’s BSAWP, coordinating up to 30 active sites at any one time across metropolitan locations. Each site operates under the same contract framework, requiring meticulous scheduling, resourcing, and real-time communication to maintain program momentum and client expectations.

The rolling nature of the BSAWP program demands agile mobilisation of crews, efficient sequencing of works, and the flexibility to adapt to changes in location, access constraints, and third-party interface requirements. Our delivery model leverages integrated site teams to optimise resourcing and program delivery across a geographically diverse footprint. Works are often undertaken on or within MRWA road reserve. When this occurs our teams work under an approved TMP and ITP compliant with MRWA specifications.

The contract scope of works includes the following activities:

  • Project management of multi-stage program.
  • Conducting survey set-out and attaining TMP approvals from the LGA and MRWA.
  • Site-specific traffic management. (Subcontracted
    works).
  • Comprehensive client and stakeholder liaison.
  • Engaging DBYD and ATCO DAS spotter services for construction oversight.
  • Removing granite pavers, kerbs, and relocating existing bus stops.
  • Adjusting service pit lids to be trafficable.
  • Bulk earthworks, drainage, and reinstatements.
  • Construction of concrete bus embayment.
  • Installation of compliant concrete kerbing and footpaths.
  • Installing conduits, pits, pram ramps, and paving.
  • Full road pavement construction and reconstruction.
  • Delivery of roadworks, including primer sealing, asphalt application, and line marking. (Subcontracted works).
