West Dapto Industrial

Civil Engineering, Flooding, Industrial

Maker was engaged to provide professional services for the development of a 54-lot industrial project. The site required bespoke solutions for roads, stormwater management, and flood control due to its constrained location, which is surrounded by future road upgrades, adjacent developments and sensitive riparian areas.

The project presented several challenges, including the need to integrate with future infrastructure, protect natural waterways, and accommodate the requirements of neighbouring developments. Maker’s multi-disciplinary engineering team analysed these constraints, applying their expertise to devise innovative and effective solutions.

Throughout the project, Maker maintained a focus on delivering an economical solution without comprising on quality or functionality. The team’s ability to balance these complex requirements is a testament to the commitment Maker has of delivering developments that not only meets current needs, but also supports future growth.

InQuik Modular Bridge Designs

Civil Engineering, Project Management, Public Infrastructure, Regional

Maker was engaged by Eurobodalla Shire Council to conduct investigations and provide construction plans for six bridges within the Eurobodalla Shire Council LGA. These bridges were identified by Council as requiring upgrades under the Fixing Country Bridges Program, which has enabled Councils across NSW to replace hundreds of deteriorating timber bridges and enhance connectivity for regional and rural communities.

Maker carried out preliminary investigations to support the construction plans, ensuring all calculations met Council requirements. The preferred solution was determined to be the InQuik Modular System due to its numerous benefits, including reduced ongoing maintenance with the structures cast as a single unit after on-site installation.

In addition to these tasks, Maker provided project management services and collaborated closely with the structural engineers to finalise the structural design, and construction certification for all six bridges.
