Many of our infrastructure projects are located alongside, over and in many cases within the rivers and watercourses themselves. The methodologies we adopt are shaped as much by how we can guarantee protection of these sensitive environments with absolute certainty over the demands of the engineering solution itself.
Recent projects have included working on steep slopes above active watercourses and constructing drainage outfalls, headwalls, weirs and fish passes. These projects require very close collaborative relationships with many stakeholders to ensure all the necessary licences and approvals are in place and people stay informed, missing any of these crucial factors can potentially seriously impact your project deadlines.
Simplifying every element through meticulous up-front attention to detail, buildable designs, and clear communications throughout planning, execution and handover are essential. Every potential environmental risk no matter how small must be carefully assessed and comprehensively actioned. For example, the potential for excavated and/or fill materials slipping into the watercourse, avoiding run off silt and hydrocarbons through proven and carefully considered and monitored pollution controls.
Our teams are highly experienced in designing and delivering works that can present high potential risks to the wellbeing of rivers and watercourses.
