Slope Stabilisation
Bana Gindarja Creek, Edmonton
Key Capabilities: Slope Stabilisation including soil nailing and shotcrete works. Detailed Earthworks & Pavement Construction
Location: Edmonton, North Queensland
Client: Department of Transport and Main Roads
Duration: June 2024 – May 2025
About the Project:
The Bana Gindarja Creek Stabilisation works formed the final link between the Cairns Southern Access Cycleway and the Edmonton to Gordonvale Stage 4 project. The works involved stabilising Bana Gindarja Creek, an area of significant cultural heritage, and constructing a high‑speed cycleway connecting Gordonvale to Cairns.
Project Scope
Project works included the construction of a high speed cycleway involving.
- Soil nailing for batter stabilisation
- Rock revetments
- Storm water drainage
- Shotcreting and Pavement works
Challenges
- Our team successfully delivered works within the sensitive footprint of Bana Gindarja Creek and a National Park, both areas recognised for their significant cultural heritage.
- Operating within the Queensland Rail Corridor, we partnered closely with Indigenous groups and Queensland Rail to ensure respectful, collaborative, and
day-to-day project delivery. - This approach reflects our commitment to cultural heritage, stakeholder engagement, and operational excellence in civil construction.
Achievements:
- Our Team delivered the project safely and efficiently within the live Queensland Rail Operations Corridor
- The scope involved the precision installation of soil nails to tight tolerances, all in close proximity to sensitive assets and critical infrastructure
- Navigating steep terrain, limited site access, and the nearby creek demanded a thoroughly planned construction program and innovative solutions to maintain safety and minimise impact
- This achievement was possible through collaboration, with our team working hand in hand with all stakeholders
