About the project
Empower was engaged for the design and project management of stages 1 and 2 of the Insight Commercial Park, including 30 strata titled commercial units ranging in size from 190m2 to 1290m2. The park provides a state of the art industrial and commercial precinct spread across 8.5 hectares in Townsville.
Scope
Master planning and detailed design of services, access, transport and site works
11,000m3 of imported fill
10,000m3 of remediation works
19,000m3 of pavement surfacing
800 metres of water main
600 metres of sewer
1100 metres of stormwater drainage
Outcomes
The commercial park was redesigned during the construction phase to account for the client’s construction contract model and delivered more effective design and construction interface management. The design accommodated for further development of building pads, earthworks, services and stormwater drainage in the area.
Empower successfully negotiated the service road outlet to Carroll Street and the preservation of the access at Woolcock Street following a traffic assessment which enabled the client’s scale of development, visibility and direct access to be achieved.
