Project Description

Clearing and grubbing, tree removal, import and placement of approximately 12,000 tonnes of various granular materials, installation of 100m of 900mm DR 17 fused HDPE storm sewer, flow control structures, landscaping and associated works.

Project Challenges

This project started in late summer and went well through the rainy season. Although a lot of effort was put into bypass pumping, mother nature wanted to ensure the water couldn’t be controlled via pumping methods. Regularily during forecasts of high rains, a poly channel was created to allow the water to overland without eroding the already compromised surface. Fitting a 160 ton mobile crane into the site was a challenge on its own but was able to successfully lower a very large flow control manhole into place. Casting an impact baffle manhole in place in the lower half of the creek and then plugging in a welded HDPE DR17 900mm culvert to allow for high flow by pass under the creek. Seeing final established landscape growth was very satisfying and a big part of why we love building park space.
