The canal revetment at Anchorage Isle required upgrades to safeguard residential properties from erosion and structural instability. ICM designed and supervised the transformation of the revetment into a durable geotextile and rip-rap structure.
Project Details
Client: The Isle Neighbourhood Association
Date: 2002
Location: Anchorage Isle, Mariner’s Drive East, Tweed Heads, Australia
About This Project
The Challenge
Anchorage Isle's existing basalt boulder revetment was showing signs of wear and erosion, threatening the stability of nearby residential properties and infrastructure. Without prompt action, the degradation posed risks of further erosion, property damage, and significant repair costs.
The Solution
ICM conducted a comprehensive site inspection and condition assessment to identify the extent of the issues. A detailed rectification plan was developed, incorporating:
Geotextile & Rip-Rap Design: Replacing the existing basalt boulder structure with a modern geotextile and rip-rap system to enhance stability and longevity.
Approvals & Technical Specifications: Securing all necessary approvals and preparing technical specifications for precise construction implementation.
Construction Supervision: Overseeing the construction process to ensure quality and compliance, providing certification upon completion.
The rectified revetment now offers robust protection against erosion, safeguarding the residential estate and enhancing the canal-front aesthetic.
