Burchills were engaged by Toowoomba Regional Council to complete a drainage mitigation, forward planning study for the Kingsthorpe township.
The study was to build upon a collection of Urban Stormwater Master Planning (USMP) projects completed across the TRC LGA since 2015, which established strategic planning goals for stormwater capital works upgrades, hydraulic master planning, and some regional stormwater management and flood mitigation strategies.
The project consisted of detailed 1D/2D hydraulic TUFLOW modelling and 12D design to ensure the flood mitigation measures proposed within the original USMP are constructible, cost effective and practical, yet still uphold the hydraulic intent of the original modelling. The Burchills team has a strong understanding of not only hydraulic modelling, but detailed civil design and construction and is therefore uniquely suited to ensuring that conceptual hydraulic optioneering processes are able to be carried through to the detailed design and construction phase of a capital works delivery program. Following the Forward Planning phase of the Kingsthorpe Urban Stormwater Master Plan project, Burchills were also engaged to complete the detailed design and construction documentation for the various flood mitigation modules in the township of Kingsthorpe. The works included five (5) detailed design packages, detailed estimates and quantities, and detailed hydraulic assessment of the final designs. The Burchills team has a strong understanding of hydraulic modelling, as well as detailed civil design and construction documentation, which makes us uniquely specialized in the delivery of drainage mitigation works, from planning through to construction.
