Bega Bypass

In May 2009, the Labor Member for Eden-Monaro, Mike Kelly MP, announced that GHD would partner with the RTA for the Concept and Detailed Design of the HW1 Princes Highway Bega Bypass. Since then work on the design, geotechnical investigation and review of environmental factors for the bypass has progressed significantly, with documentation for construction tender having been completed.

The project includes 3.6 km of two lane rural highway, three bridges connecting communities with the Bega township, four reinforced soil retaining walls and three intersections. The purposes of the project are to accommodate B-Double movements and to create the potential for reduced crash rates in the area by creating better transport pathways for local communities and highway users.

Hume Highway Duplication Biodiversity Offsets

GHD was engaged by the New South Wales Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA) to quantify the biodiversity debits and offsets arising from vegetation clearing for the Hume Highway duplication, between Tarcutta and Mullengandra.

The environmental assessment for the project was undertaken under Part 3A of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act (1979). Under the Property Vegetation Plan (PVP) process, clearing of native vegetation at one site can be offset by condition improvements in native vegetation at another site. The purpose of this balancing process is to maintain or improve environmental outcomes across the landscape, where clearing of low condition native vegetation is balanced by improvement of vegetation condition elsewhere. Therefore, the quality of vegetation in the landscape is maintained.

Upgrade of abattoir effluent treatment system

Cargill Beef Australia needed to upgrade its abattoir effluent treatment system to increase capacity, reduce risk of odour emissions and meet trade waste discharge requirements. A GHD specialist team investigated the existing facilities and analysed all the data.

Cargill Beef Australia accepted a concept design for the system upgrade, biogas recovery, conditioning and cogeneration as a preferred option.

Red Hill Road Rail Bridge

In a good demonstration of public authority and private industry cooperation, the Red Hill Road Bridge was successfully launched on 3 January 2007 by the project team of Wagga Wagga City Council (WWCC), GHD, Nelmac Pty Ltd and Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC).

The overall purpose of the rail bridge project was to link Red Hill Rd to the Olympic Highway. Red Hill Rd is an arterial orbital road that traverses the south end of Wagga Wagga, generally in an east-west direction. It ended at the south side of the Main Southern Rail Line but it was desired to extend the road underneath the rail line through to the adjacent Olympic Highway.

Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) Feasibility Study, Murrumbidgee Region

Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) is a process where water is added to aquifers via injection wells or surface water storages, and then extracted when required.

GHD carried out a feasibility study to assess the potential of ASR to halt or reverse falling groundwater levels and to increase groundwater available for irrigation and environmental flows in the Murrumbidgee region of New South Wales.
