Bulga Road Remediation

Several landslides impacting Bulga Road were recently remediated. The road is situated in steep terrain northwest of Taree and provides access to the Bulga Plateau, including Elands and popular tourist destinations such as Ellenborough Falls. Regional Geotechnical Solutions undertook geotechnical investigation works and provided design and construction advice for a range of remedial measures including gabion wall and drainage works to stabilise road formations, as well as rockbolt and mesh support unstable rock cuttings.

Port Macquarie Airport

Regional Geotechnical Solutions recently undertook a geotechnical investigation for the proposed upgrade of the Port Macquarie Airport, which included an evauation of subgrade conditions for the proposed parallel taxi-way and runway extension. Our knowledge of the local soils present and contacts with local subcontractors meant that the investigation which included test pitting and drilling was able to be undertaken at short notice and a detailed report produced that addressed all required issues.

Woodlands Bridge Investigation: Regional Geotechnical Solutions recently undetook a geotechnical investigation for the proposed Woodlands Road timber bridge replacement over the Torrens Anabranch adjacent to the Maria River. The weight restrictions for the existing Bridge and lack of alternate access meant that standard geotechnical investigation methods, such as the use of drilling rigs were not possible. With the assistance if In Situ Ground Services, a small transportable Cone Penetration Test unit was able to access the site by trailer and barge to undertake the investigation. We were then able to provide an assessment of foundations conditions and provide the required parameters for our client to assist with the design of the replacement bridge.
