CLIENT: Royal QLD Yacht Squadron
VALUE: $216,000
DURATION: November 2007 - December 2007
RQYS engaged Shamrock Civil Engineering to provide them with a pump station for the upgrade of their sewer services in line with their upgrade and expansion of the existing club.
Due to the ground conditions on this occasion we utilized a caisson style construction method whereby we benched the excavation down about a meter, placed the first section, excavated within the caisson then pushed the caisson down into the excavation. Once the next section was placed the same was done until we had the caisson at the correct height then poured the base then the roof.
The sewer pit was coated and the penetrations patched after the plumbers fitted out the pit.
Whilst this job could have been potentially hazardous with respects to Groundwater, Acid Sulphate soils, co-ordination with other trades, and working within 15m of the entrance to the club. Shamrock was able to bring this project in below budget, and in an expedient manner that exceeded the customer's expectations.
The client was very happy with the efficiency and expedient manner in which we completed this project enabling them to utilize the area over the festive season.
