Project Scope
- 1500m² of retaining wall construction
- Stormwater reticulation supply and installation
- Watermain reticulation supply and installation
- Bio retention basin construction
- Road widening including footpaths, kerb, asphalt and line marking

Challenges
- The rear of the project backed onto an environmental protection zone. The project team were to work within limits agreed upon with GCCC's Environmental Inspectors
- The site was located adjacent to a residential community, resulting in a restricted site area
- Due to restricted site area, works were to be carefully coordinated for contractors working in close proximity
- The fine-grained topsoil used, coupled with high winds, created conditions conducive to dust
- Retaining walls had to be constructed on privately-owned, semi-rural properties
- Design changes were required to roads, water lines and retaining walls throughout the project
Achievements
- Water trucks were used for effective dust suppression and halted works during high winds to minimise impact on residents
- Redesigned the bio basin forebay in collaboration with GCCC to improve functionality, and minimise future maintenance costs
- Stormwater lines were redesigned to ensure protected trees were not impacted
- Worked closely with arborist and GCCC’s Environmental Inspectors to ensure no environmental incidents
- Communicated effectively with all residential stakeholders to ensure minimal impact
- Zero reportable safety incidents occurred during the project
- The project was completed on time despite considerable redesign activities
