DATE
2021

LOCATION
Walhalla, Tanjil Bren and Boolarra South

CLIENT
Fulton Hogan and Black Geotechnical

SECTOR
Civil and Structural Engineering, Hydrology

Working closely with Black Geotechnical and Fulton Hogan, we completed the design of major, tied-back retaining walls and high-risk bank stabilisation works following the June 2021 event that saw the collapse of sections of Main Road in Walhalla and damage to the Grand Ridge Road and Mount Baw Baw Tourist Road.

Black Geotechnical undertook the geotechnical investigation and design whilst we completed the civil and structural design works and documentation.

The project reached a successful fruition, with the new retaining structures designed to prevent future erosion and flood damage.

Photo of the side of a road washed away by flooding. The waterway is now not flooding but is filled with rocks and things left behind by the flood. There is a historical house on the right and other historic buildings dotted in the hillside around this. Orange safety barriers run along the edge of the road where it has washed away.
