To minimise disruption to the community and surrounding environment, much of the new water main was installed using trenchless construction methods. This reduced the need for extensive excavation, helped maintain traffic flow throughout construction and minimised impacts on sensitive environmental areas around Goong Creek.
The upgrade included:
- Installing approximately 300 metres of new water main.
- Using horizontal directional drilling beneath Goong Creek.
- Using auger boring to install pipeline beneath Bribie Island Road.
- Completing live connections to the existing water network while maintaining water supply to customers.
- Working alongside environmental specialists and arborists to minimise vegetation clearing.
- Implementing measures to protect a known koala habitat within the project area.
- Restoring affected areas following completion of the works.
Bribie Island Road, Caboolture.
