Summary
MCE completed the detailed design of the Duckpond Road (Gin Gin Creek Crossing) floodway and road approaches upgrade on behalf of North Burnett Regional Council (NBRC). This project included procurement of geotechnical and survey subconsultants, alignment and geometry design, Bill of Quantities and Contract Documentation. We also engaged Environmental and Cultural Heritage consultants to supplement the to ensure these critical aspects where appropriately considered and mitigated during the detailed design development. A key consideration for the team and NBRC was that of Fish Passage and this was managed by maintaining alignment with the relevant design standards and through specific engagement with DAF through pre-lodgement discussions. This ensured the expectations of the regulator were known and these technical aspects were understood, and mitigating design elements applied correctly.
