The relocation of the major waterway, essential services and environmental issues presented some demanding challenges.\u00a0<\/p><p>This project brought its unique complexities as it involved several different concurrent tasks, including:<\/p><ul><li>Significant roadworks on the Gold Coast Highway,<\/li><li>Widening of the waterway in front of Jupiter\u2019s Casino,<\/li><li>The underpinning of foundations for the monorail,<\/li><li>Construction of a new bridge carrying all essential services and the demolition of an old bridge.<\/li><\/ul><p>A significant element of this work also involved the major realignment of an adjacent waterway.\u00a0 Little Tallebudgera Creek had to be moved several hundred metres west to make room for the main building pad and new bridge needed to accommodate the changed configuration.<\/p><p>In the earthmoving process, Neumann Contractors environmental management team treated 40,000 tonnes of acid sulphate material, removed it from the site and taken it to an approved disposal facility.<\/p><p>Neumann Contractors supplied a level one service, testing and analysing materials to ensure they were within the acceptance criteria for water quality and other environmental issues, including erosion and sediment control.<\/p><p>Neumann Contractors acknowledge the civil work challenges were managed successfully due to the team approach with builder Multiplex Constructions and consulting engineers Weathered &amp; Howe.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-28f750b elementor-widget
