Carole Park Utility Assessment
About the project
The existing stormwater system in Carole Park was failing and required a flow and capacity assessment to understand the upgrade requirements on the existing stormwater network.
Location
Carole Park, Queensland
Client & Duration
Valmont Industries
May 2019 — August 2019
Project Scope
- Full site Quality Level B investigation
- Investigation and condition report of existing stormwater network flow and capacity
- Condition report on existing stormwater pits and manholes, including the manholes and gully pits on the road verge
- Digital terrain model and topographical survey
Challenges
- There was no existing utility information, Pensar had to rely on existing surface features for a rough assessment of the site condition
- Working in a busy galvanising workshop, which involved working around heavy machinery
Achievements
- As there was no current utility information, we built the Quality Level B model from scratch, using various utility locating techniques
- A comprehensive stormwater network assessment was required, which meant opening and inspecting over 70 pits and manholes onsite as well as rodding, locating and GPR of over 3,200m of stormwater network
- Completed a capacity and blockage assessment of the stormwater networks
- Due to the unknown nature of the site, 3D GPR scanning was used for finding any unknown utilities
- Due to the compact nature of the ground and site, drone survey was used for 90% of the field topographical survey
