LOCATION North Beach, SA
CLIENT Merlino Developments
DESCRIPTION 270-Allotment Land Division
PROJECT PERIOD 2021-Present
PROJECT VALUE $12M
Woodforde Drive was a 14.87 ha housing development site for 270-allotments over 5 stages. MLEI undertook civil engineering for:
- Stormwater management plan report for planning application
- Infrastructure report
- Project engineering and service authority liaison
- Earthworks masterplan and concept design
- Detailed Design – civil works, potable water & sewers, road pavement for new internal streets, new internal street lighting & electrical reticulation, telecommunications pit and pipe infrastructure.
**_VALUE ADD
_ ** We achieved savings by undertaking geotechnical investigation to inform the masterplan, which reduced rock variations risk and expense. Masterplan cut/fill volumes undertaken considering rock in soil profile (minimise cut on project) factoring in 20% of cut volume not usable as bulk fill. Allotments were benched to minimise retaining walls, with some allotments raised above road to balance cut/fill volumes considering impact on driveway grades.
