Project background and location
- Our client plans to construct an Anaerobic Digestion (AD) Plant to process waste and generate power at their Gatton Campus.
- The plant will generate 1.2 \MW of power and process up to 40, 000 tonnes of organic waste per year
- Site is a 100 m² plot of land located south of the campus
Project summary
Prepared documentation and designs for the proposed works, including designs for the following:
- Services infrastructure to connect the Gatton Campus’s existing fire mains and potable water reticulation system to the site of the proposed plant
- A communications conduit connection to be run in the same trench as the new fire mains connection
- A services pit for above listed connections will be terminated
- Road upgrades to improve road safety and facilitate seamless vehicle/truck movements
- A one megalitre capacity ‘turkey’s nest’ style dam, located south of the proposed plant site
- Used the designs to estimate the cost of the above works to within 10% accuracy
The project
CWD Group conducted field surveys to determine the scope of the works, and then provided the client with detailed designs for all the above-mentioned components of the project. Where applicable, CWD Group submitted documentation to council for approval. The client was also provided with a cost estimate for the total cost of works to within 10% accuracy, including a detailed breakdown of the necessary works.
Value added by CWD Group
Through CWD Group’s ability to understand council regulations and communicate with authorities, the DA process was able to be dealt with in a professional and timely way.
Constraints relating to construction and infrastructure were resolved concisely due to our understanding of engineering standards and the implications of cost on construction. See more of our recent work.
