Project information

Project location

Woolloomooloo sewer and stormwater separation – Forbes Street separation area

Project scope

The proposed wastewater pipes will be located along the eastern side of Forbes Street, starting from the southern side of Liverpool Street and connecting to the existing wastewater pipe near William Lane. It will be constructed in two parts: trenching along Forbes Street and underboring beneath William Street.

Underboring beneath William Street

To avoid impact to underground services and traffic, the pipe will need to be underbored beneath William Street. The intersection of Forbes Street is approximately 4m higher than William Street and there is a retaining wall. Due to the retaining wall and to pass under the existing services running along William Street, a 10m deep drop maintenance hole is required upstream of the retaining wall.

In order to construct the underbore, a launch pit is proposed to be located within the eastern most lane of Forbes Street, adjacent to the footpath. The receival pit is proposed to be located south of St Petters lane, in the parking lane on the eastern side of Forbes Street. A maintenance hole 6.4m will then be built within the receival pit.

Trenching along Forbes Street

The remaining section of the Forbes Street wastewater pipe will be built using open trenching and run parallel to the existing wastewater system. The depth of the wastewater pipe will range from 1.5m to 5m in this section.

Approved REF

Woolloomooloo Sewer and Stormwater Separation Project, April 2016.

Project change

Removal of up to three (3) street trees for construction of the Forbes Street bore pit.

Potential impacts on street trees from trenching along Forbes Street was assessed in the REF and impacts were considered unlikely, however, following assessment of available construction methodologies, it has been identified that tree removal will be required to facilitate the construction of the bore pit.

Justification for project change

Removal of up 3 trees adjacent to 184 Forbes Street, Darlinghurst is essential to facilitate the excavation of the bore receival pit.

The receival pit needs to be 6m long x 4m wide x 10.5m deep) and the existing road surface level is required to be reduced to form a level pad for the excavator (30-40T excavator) to operate from (as illustrated on Figure 1 and Figure 2 attached).

In order for the excavator to dig the pit, the root zone and canopy of trees identified as 7 and 8 will be substantially impacted (>20%) and the root zone of tree 9 (>20%) will also be substantially impacted, along the main trunk of the tree, due to the excavation in the roadway.

Alternate locations and construction methods have been investigated in order to avoid tree removal, however, were found to be unfeasible (refer to Appendix A for full analysis).

Environmental impacts table – Key Impacts

Aspect Assess additional impacts List additional mitigation measures

Flora and fauna The construction of Forbes Street bore pit will require removal of up to three (3) street trees:

Tree 7, Lophostemon confertus

Tree 8, Robinia pseudoacacia

Tree 9, Lophostemon confertus

Details regarding the species, age, condition and impact to the above trees is included in the tree schedule attached as Appendix B

These trees are not indigenous to the area and are not listed on Councils’ register of significant trees.

Although up to 3 street trees will need to be removed for the bore pit, the majority of remaining street trees along Forbes Street are not likely to be impacted by the works (refer to Appendix B impact map)

Prior to works, advise affected community and Council of number of trees to be removed, reasons why tree removal is unavoidable and proposed replacement.

Every effort will be made during construction to limit the number of trees actually needing to be removed on-site (eg. only removing 2 instead of 3 if possible) in consultation with arborist.

Removal of the trees will be undertaken under the direct on-site supervision of a level 5 Arborist, who will advise on suitable additional mitigation measures during tree removal

For any future tree removal on the Project, the following mitigation measure will be implemented:

‘Provided it is essential for delivering the project, Sydney Water’s Project Manager (after consultation with Sydney Water’s environmental and community representatives and affected landowners) can approve the following vegetation removal and tree trimming, without additional environmental assessment or approval under Part 5 of the EP&A Act:

Any minor: 

- vegetation trimming or - removal of exotic vegetation or - removal of planted native vegetation

Page 4: Woolloomooloo Sewer and Stormwater separation · 2017-11-06 · on-site supervision of a level 5 Arborist, who will advise on suitable additional mitigation measures during tree removal

Woolloomooloo Sewer and Stormwater Separation Project | REF addendum – Forbes St bore pit tree removal Page | 4

where the vegetation is not a threatened species (including a characteristic species of a threatened community or population), listed on Council’s register of significant trees or heritage listed.

Sydney Water considers trimming and vegetation removal in these circumstances has minimal environmental impact. Written explanation of the application of this clause (including justification of the need for trimming or removal and any proposed revegetation) should be provided by the Delivery Contractor when seeking Project Manager approval.’

Social and visual The removal of these street trees will have a temporary visual impact on the street scape of Forbes Street near Premier Lane for local residents, however, the area will be restored following construction, including replacement with semi-mature street trees, in consultation with Council and residents. The majority of remaining street trees along Forbes Street are unlikely to be impacted by trenching works.

Replacement species will be selected in consultation with City of Sydney Council and local residents, but is expected to be a like for like replacement with semi mature trees.

Appendix A – Consideration of construction alternatives to avoid impacts to trees

Option considered Notes Outcome

Move bore pit away from street trees into middle of road

Unable to move due to existing services in this location (existing sewer and stormwater main located adjacent to proposed bore pit) and heritage listed steps located to the north of the bore pit

unfeasible

Use smaller excavator, taking up less room

will not be able to excavate to 10.5m depth due to smaller excavator arm

unfeasible

Use smaller excavator, located inside shaft with spoil removal via skip to surface

Small excavator will not have the capacity to break the extremely hard sandstone rock ground conditions

unfeasible

Use alternate means to excavate shaft

There is no alternative means suitable for excavating this shaft

unfeasible

Change launch shaft to receival shaft (reducing required length of bore pit)

Note the shaft is the receive pit not the launch pit, the dimensions of this excavation cannot be reduced any further.

unfeasible

Change orientation of excavator so it sits in middle of road to load trucks rather than adjacent to kerb

Cannot get an excavator greater than 13.5t with an offset boom to fit perpendicular to bore pit due to width of street and adjacent buildings. 13.5t excavator will not handle the depth of the excavation pit and the strength of the hard sandstone rock.

unfeasible

Excavate receive pit with 30t excavator and extension arm at the location identified in the construction drawings.

This is a proven method and this will enable the safe execution of the construction works, however will require the removal of up to 3 street trees

Feasible

Project information

Project location Woolloomooloo – Forbes Street Separation Area

Project scope

The Forbes St Separation Area

The proposed wastewater pipes will be located along the eastern side of Forbes

Street, starting from the southern side of Liverpool Street and connecting to the

existing wastewater pipe near William Lane. The depth of the wastewater pipe

ranges from 1.3m to 3.7m except for the crossing under William Street. Due to

traffic volumes, the crossing under William Street will be installed using

trenchless methods. The intersection is approximately 4m higher than William

Street and there is a retaining wall. Due to the retaining wall and to pass under

the existing services running along William Street, a 10m deep drop

maintenance hole is required upstream of the retaining wall. The vertical drop

between upstream and downstream wastewater levels will be about 6.4m. The

need for vortex drop or water cushion or venting will be assessed during detailed

design.

For the trenchless section, a launch pit is proposed to be located within the

easternmost lane of Forbes Street, adjacent to the footpath. The receival pit is

proposed to be located south of St Peters Lane, in the parking lane on the

eastern side of Forbes Street. It is proposed the drop maintenance hole will be

built within the receival pit.

The remaining section of the Forbes Street wastewater pipe will be built using

open trenching. It will run parallel and to the east of the existing combined

wastewater stormwater system. The proposed wastewater pipe will connect to

the existing wastewater pipe south of Liverpool Street at the southern end.

Project change

Removal of 3x trees adjacent to 184 Forbes Street, Darlinghurst to facilitate

the excavation of bore receival pit.

For the receival pit to be constructed (6m long x 4m wide x 10.5m deep), the

existing road surface level is required to be reduced to form a level pad for the

excavator (30-40T excavator) to operate from, this is illustrated on figure 2.

In order for the excavator to dig the pit, the root zone and canopy of trees

identified as 7, and 8 on the attached tree schedule will be substantially

impacted.

The root zone of tree 9 will also be substantially impacted, along with the main

trunk of the tree, when the excavator is required to load waiting rucks, due to

the placement of the excavation in the roadway.

Alternate locations and construction methods have been investigated, however

The bore analysis under William Street has been carried out, and in order to

get this bore across William Street the location of this pit cannot change

because we are governed by existing services within this area. With the

Based on the assessment in the following pages, this proposed project change does not comply

with the approved Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) (Woolloomooloo Wastewater

Stormwater Separation Project March 2016), and an REF Addendum is required.

existing services running each side of the excavation this is the only location it

can be physically built.

Due to the size and depth of this pit, minimum size of a 30t excavator is

required to get to achieve the design depth which is 10.5m, if we were to use

smaller machines this would not be achieved.

Dear Karen and Phillip

This is a notification advising of tree removal required to allow for the construction works for Sydney Water Refresh

Woolloomooloo works in Forbes Street Precinct.

Following on from discussions with Philip Julian (Senior Tree Contract Coordinator – City of Sydney), this email is to

notify the requirement for the removal of 3 x number trees located adjacent to 184 Forbes Street, Darlinghurst (as

per the attached illustration)

The shaft is to be approximately 10m deep. Given the location of the bore shaft, and trees, the three identified

trees will require removal to allow the excavator to conduct digging operations.

The identified trees are within the travel path and swing radius required by the excavator to conduct the digging

operations. – see attached illustration for further information.

This will take place early next week to assist with the commencement of the shaft excavation works.

With thanks

Kind Regards

Kate Guyatt

25 September 2017 Dear Resident Vegetation and tree trimming eastern side of Forbes Street, Darlinghurst Our contractor, Diona, has just started work on Refresh Woolloomooloo in the Forbes Street Precinct. When we finish, Woolloomooloo will have new pipes, the storm water flowing into Woolloomooloo Bay will be cleaner and odours significantly reduced. To do our work we need to remove vegetation and garden beds within the parkway, trim trees along both sides of Forbes Street, between William Lane and Burton Street, and remove two trees near Premier Lane. When work has finished, we will liaise with City of Sydney Council to restore the garden beds. Vegetation removal and tree trimming will occur progressively. We’ll be working from 7 am to 6 pm Monday to Friday and 8 am to 1 pm Saturdays. We won’t work on Sundays or public holidays. This work will be noisy and you will also notice an increase in dust and vehicle movements. To keep you and our workers safe we will have traffic control while we are working. We will do what we can to minimise the impacts on you. To know more, please call 1300 131 338. For 24-hour service difficulties or emergencies call 13 20 90. Thank you for your patience during this essential work. Yours sincerely
