Burchills are currently engaged by the City of Gold Coast to provide specialist engineering services to support a footbridge upgrade in Tallebudgera. Burchills have been involved throughout the project from concept planning, through to detailed design.
We have undertaken site investigations, hydraulic study, civil and structural assessment, options analysis, construction costing, with the final deliverable being detailed design for the replacement of Coplick pedestrian bridge and associated shared path connection to an arterial road.
The bridge traverses the Tallebudgera Creek as Scotty Logan Lane, Tallebudgera Valley, and in 2017 the City determined that the structure had reached the end of its serviceable life and replacement was required. Our scope also covered bridge engineering services to support a footbridge upgrade option assessment and associated share path. Burchills undertook investigations, structural design concepts, options analysis, design costings, and a structural planning report for the replacement of Coplick pedestrian bridge. More recently we have continued onto Detailed Design of the bridge, shared path and approaches include scour protection.
