Background
North Harbour is recognised as a Priority Development Area (PDA) by administering authorities and comprises the development of various marina heritage and business precincts as well as waterfront and non-waterfront residential homes, adjacent the Caboolture River.
The overall development covers about 570 hectares and has involved multiple bulk earthworks and civil works packages, culminating in the movement of millions of cubic metres of material from across varying geological and environmental settings, resulting and successful development of a vibrant new community. Tectonic has been involved with ongoing development since 2027.
Scope
Tectonic has completed numerous geotechnical and environmental site investigations, for individual packages of work ranging from assessment of detailed structures to broad scale reports and management plans for precinct development. Such works have been used to identify site specific opportunities and constraints, support application to administering authorities, and to safely complete construction and land development works, and provide confirmation of successful risk mitigation.
Tectonic continue to provide support for the project.
Challenges
Work has been designed to mitigate against a variety of the potential geo-environmental hazards at the site, which include:
