Burchills Engineering Solutions were engaged by City of Gold Coast to undertake a regional hydraulic impact assessment and inform the masterplan for a major park development in the heart of the Merrimac floodplain.

The project required assessment of the existing hydrological (URBS) and hydraulic (TUFLOW) models to ensure they were suitable for use, as well as design iteration of the masterplan to ensure the hydraulic function of the floodplain was maintained through the design process.
