ENGCO was appointed to provide comprehensive civil engineering design services on the Southpark Head office development (The Works).
Civil engineering services included Stormwater, Wastewater, Water Supply and Pavement Design, as well as Construction Monitoring and sign-off. The development consisted of a new office building and large car park to serve the offices, commercial and retail buildings.
There was highly contaminated material across the entire site. A large and costly stormwater system would have been required to manage stormwater runoff due to the lack of Council infrastructure and meeting conditions within the ECAN consent.
The 3D model optimised the earthwork by minimising the removal of contaminated material and integrating the residual material into the landscaping areas.
The civil design proposed a single network which could be switched between having to connect to Council main or soakage.
ENGCO designed the stormwater network to allow Council consent to be issued and construction works to proceed. This de-risked the development and allowed the developer to construct the 200 carpark, access road and infrastructure while applying for an amendment to the consent. Significant cost savings on carting and disposal of contaminated material.
Construction work could commence, and the project was kept on program. Subsequently the ECAN consent amendment was approved, the stormwater network was reduced and all runoff discharges to ground.
