GLADSTONE 1800mm Steel culvert rehabilitation
Callemondah 4680 QLD
History of the project Rainfall January 2011
Flooding 2011
Problems
Idea Repair the ground Repair the pipe Trenchless
Proposed Solution Tender Engineer and prove methodology Rehabilitate the ground Rehabilitate the culvert Minimal disruption to public and rate payers Culvert remain in service. No excavation Needed to achieve equivalent to class 2 RC for Load requirements.
