Breakfast Creek trunk sewer augmentation project – Brisbane
On Thursday, September 14, from 9:10am to 9:40am, Rob Carr project manager Thierry Candito will present a case study on the Breakfast Creek trunk sewer augmentation project in Brisbane, Queensland.
The Breakfast Creek Trunk Sewer has a sagged section where it passes under the Inner-City Bypass (ICB) and Airport Link on-ramp, which has an unclearable blockage and is at risk of collapse.
It consists of a 98-year-old unreinforced concrete pipe, which due to poor ground conditions, has experienced a vertical settlement in the alignment.
Candito will discuss the background on the project and the scope of works, including how a new pipeline is currently being constructed.
