DESIGN SERVICES

4.1 Design Summary Report

Overview

Design Services worked on several road design projects this month and commenced design on two major

Alfred St intersection upgrades and two major water main upgrade projects in the Mackay CBD and at Marian

township. Forward planning also commenced on the preparation of the 20/21 design program.

Significant Projects Overview

Design was carried out for several projects during March being:

Gorge Rd upgrade between causeways to bitumen sealed and concrete surfaced roadway is nearing design

completion. This addresses continual maintenance works on the existing gravel formation from regular

vehicular traffic and significant scouring during storm events. The road is recognised as an important tourist

drive in the Mackay Region to the national park facilities and the design is sympathetic with matching with the

tropical forest environment.

Completion of detailed design for Ball Bay Rd reconstruction for 1.7km leading up to Halliday Bay Rd

intersection. This narrow section has been identified as a priority to complete the road upgrades within the

Hibiscus Coast area and also addresses several complaints to Council from local residents requesting the

upgrade to address road safety concerns.

Detailed design of the fish-passage facility at the Palm Tree Rd causeway over Sandy Ck has been completed.

Several major streams within the Mackay region were identified and prioritised for the installation of fishways

through man-made structures to increase the migration and habitat for fish. This compliments other completed

structures as an on-going upgrade program.

Recent Project Activities

✓ Smith Cross Rd causeway upgrades over Devereux Ck

✓ Seagull St boat ramp and carpark

✓ Coakley Ct culvert upgrade

✓ McIntyre street (Calen) pedestrian pathway to Calen School

4.2 Survey Office Summary Report

Overview

The recent focus of Design Services’ Survey Team was on delivering surveys for: playground renewals in

several of the region’s parks; a footpath upgrade in Calen; and a reservoir refurbishment at Mt Oscar.

Significant Projects Overview

The Survey Team have undertaken two large projects since the last report. The first involved mapping over

550 trees at Jimmy’s Rock Rd, Midge Point for preliminary investigations into the possibility of road upgrades.

The second was a detailed survey of a possible site for the Northern Beaches Community Hub to enable the

development of concepts as a starting point for community consultation.

Recent Project Activities

Members of the Survey Team have been undertaking maintenance works on permanent survey marks within

the region’s road reserves. Collectively, permanent survey marks are a significant piece of the State’s survey

infrastructure and Councils have a responsibility to ensure the integrity of the marks that are located on Local

Government controlled roads

4.3 Estimating and Specifications

Continuing to meet with Finance in relation to the Field Service Reports. Now awaiting finance department to

see if they can automate it so it will not require any data manipulation in the future. This report will provide

weekly information in relation to costs which have hit Projects allowing Project Managers to obtain a better

understanding of the overall project spend. Planned vs actual information will ensure Project Managers are

aware of any cost overruns per Task per week and provide a platform for them to make changes within their

project to continue to meet planned costs.

Internal Design Services reports are being created and reviewed to ensure we have a better handle on internal

budgets. Analysis on internal vs external design is our next avenue for reporting,

Benchmark estimating software business case has been approved in principle, we are now awaiting budget to

purchase the so the system can be rolled out. In the meantime, we are collating data and working with

Benchmark to obtain data tables to ensure a seamless implementation once budget is available.

Currently awaiting on cleansed accurate information to be able to incorporate the 2021 Project Program into

the design program.

Finance1 Task number reconciliation is continuing for the remainder of Assets, this is done by providing a gap

analysis of data from Finance1 and Assetic then providing a sense and sensibility check to ensure we are at

the correct level of granularity.

A standard drawings review for PE&S has commenced some months ago, this process has been given some

extra energy recently so will continue over coming months.

Team Improvement Scrum Board is still coming along nicely with over 20 projects completed already.

5.2 73068 Sewer Renewals and Stormwater Relining

Overview

The Project includes:

• Relining, Repair and CCTV condition inspection of sewer mains

• Structural relining of stormwater Reinforced Concrete Pipes (RCP) and Reinforced and Insitu Concrete

Box Culverts (RCBC)

Relining, Repair and CCTV of Sewer and Stormwater Mains:

MRC undertakes ongoing condition assessment by CCTV of both stormwater and sewer networks. CCTV work

identifies stormwater and sewer mains requiring rehabilitation by relining.

The cost-effective approach to sewer main renewals and stormwater mains is to insert a structural liner into

the existing sewer and stormwater mains. Relining of sewer mains and stormwater drainage strengthens the

structure, prevents entry of foreign debris including infestation of tree roots and greatly reduces inflow and

infiltration of ground water.

Repairing of sewer mains includes plugging infiltration from behind the existing liner at the maintenance hole,

junction sealings and structural patch repair. The 19/20 FY package of works includes relining 137 sewer mains

totalling 8.76km and a patch repair program of 21 sewer mains totalling 1.4km. The CCTV program for 2019/20

Page 13: Capital Works Monthly Review · 6 Capital Works Monthly Review > March 2020 CAPITAL PROJECT UPDATES 2.1. Capital Summary Report Following is the capital financial summary for the

13

Capital Works

Monthly Review > March 2020

includes older AC, VC and RCP reticulation mains which have no asset condition data. This program includes

CCTV of 483 sewer mains totalling 27.1km

The stormwater drainage conduits to be relined vary in size from 375mm to 1500mm with an approximate total

length of 800m.

The key Project Drivers are:

• Rehabilitation of deteriorating sewer and stormwater mains before structural failure.

• Identifying deteriorating sewer and stormwater mains before failure.

• Increasing knowledge of sewer and stormwater main asset condition and rate of degradation.

5.4 50303 Ron Searle and Harbour Rd Shared Footpath

Overview

Following review to meet the Council’s Desired Standards of Service (DSS) and Walking & Cycling Network

Plan, and to provide improved network connections between community suburbs filling in missing links

between existing infrastructure, it was identified that the Ron Searle Drive and Harbour Road shared pathway

projects will improve overall network connectivity and increase community usage of our Walking & Cycling

Network.

The proposed 2.7 km off-road, arterial level shared path will provide connection to the broader walking and

cycling network. The proposed route is often used in Council run events and are well utilised by the community.

The majority (75%) of the project is funded by the Transport & Main Roads (TMR) and a quarter of the project

funded through Council’s Capital Works budget.

Construction will commence at the Vine’s Creek Bridge on Harbour Road (south bound side) and continue

along to Ron Searle Drive, with the shared path consisting of concrete and elevated boardwalk (to preserve

mangrove habitats).

Once completed, this project will provide a continuous footpath from the Mackay Harbour into the City Centre

connecting to the existing Bluewater Trail.

The aim of the RCoE is to provide a world-class training facility for the region. Once complete, the RCoE will provide an Underground Simulator Mining Facility (USMF), a control room, workshop, laboratory, classrooms and an open office space. The USMF is a 6811m² facility set up to replicate the conditions of working underground. The series of tunnels will provide students/trainees the opportunity to complete in-depth practical based training. Since beginning construction, the initial scope of the centre has expanded to include an additional 410m² of floor space by adding a second floor. The second floor is the separable portion of the project and will allow RIN to commence their lease and utilise the ground floor office whilst construction upstairs is being complete. Recent Project Activities ✓ Flooring, LEDs and joinery complete in ground floor ✓ Second storey framing commenced ✓ Plywood frame, wall and ceiling for USMF complete ✓ External civil works commenced ✓ Ongoing stakeholder engagement

The old Hospital Bridge was a timber and steel structure that was decommissioned in 2009 and converted into

a fishing pier. The fishing pier consisted of the eastern most five spans of the old bridge, which extended 34m

out into the Pioneer River and was 5.5m wide.

Flooding associated with Tropical Cyclone Debbie in 2017 caused severe damage to the pier, and as a result

Council is demolishing the remnants of the old structure and reconstructing a new pier to contemporary bridge

standards.

Construction was complete in March with the structure is designed in an ‘L’ shape with a 15m span jutting out

into the Pioneer River and an 11m span aligning downstream. Amenities of the pier consist of bench seating

and fishing rod holders. Revitalised landscaping is being complete alongside this project by MRC’s Parks,

Environment and Sustainability team.
