Project Overview

Queensland Bridge and Civil have been engaged by the Department of Transport and Main Roads to perform slope stability works on the Palmwoods – Montville Road following a number of isolated landslips that occurred over the summer period.

Project Characteristics

• Rapid resource mobilisation was required due to the small window of time available to the Department to complete the works under the First Response Emergency Work arrangements.
• Over 160m3 of Rock Gabions were constructed and 500m3 of rock fill placed to provide batter toe stability and slip resistance.
• The existing road was also upgraded through this section with 250mm of Cement Treated Base and a 50mm asphalt wear course.

Outcomes

• This project successfully delivered on the project goals and resulted in a  stabilised batter and and upgraded, safe and trafficable road to the local community.
