FPS assisted on this complex water infrastructure upgrade project located on Gibson Island, adjacent to the Brisbane River. HDD was the chosen construction method to install the 315mm dual pipelines due to a number of location-based obstacles, including the need to cross under and adjacent to the busy Paringa Road, and the very limited access and traffic diversion options in the riverside industrial area.
FPS provided for-construction HDD design and engineering including profile and alignment, installation and integrity calculation, and settlement analysis for the road crossing.
Contractor SEQ Trenchless completed the installation in June 2021, successfully managing the complex location requirements and additional considerations when working on a high-traffic-volume industrial thoroughfare.
