Stormwater Drain Replacement in Jindalee QLD

 

Citi Industries was tasked with replacing a crumbling stormwater drainage system and concrete surrounds at a commercial site in Jindalee, Queensland. The project required the removal of an existing non-compliant drainage grate that did not comply with the construction contractor’s plumbing tariff regulations, whilst a new Class D cast iron bolt-down grate and frame system was installed, capable of long-term performance in any high-traffic environment.

Challenges Faced by the Client

There were several critical infrastructure issues for the client:

• The existing stormwater drain / concrete surround had become damaged and deteriorated, making the drainage system ineffective and creating safety hazards.
• The antiquated drainage grate did not conform to existing plumbing tariff standards, exposing the facility to compliance and potentially liability risks.
• A high-traffic point of load with a drain that will take a lot of vehicular traffic, and weather conditions that may adversely affect the structure, will require a proper structure.
• The replacement should go quickly and have a safety impact on the heavily trafficked commercial property without impacting operations or vehicle and pedestrian access.
• Making sure that the new drainage system fulfilled the rules for busy locations

These concerns made it clear that there was an urgent need for a Stormwater Drain Replacement capable of handling the weight of both people and cars.

 

What Citi Industries Can Do for You

Highly skilled cut and removal of the existing drainage grate and frame, and deteriorated concrete surround in the storm drain system, a method that will protect the underground and adjacent infrastructure from damage.

• All waste materials were professionally removed off-site for proper disposal, maintaining a clean and safe worksite throughout the project.
• We provided and installed a newly durable G96DI 900mm x 600mm clear opening Class D cast iron bolt-down grate and frame, delivering additional load-bearing capacity for heavy vehicle traffic.
• Our team installed the new grate and frame in place for precise bolt-down to prevent slippage and injury.
• We did the whole concrete reinstatement (20000 mm reinforcement band in the new frame) – this will give it a new look and make it look better.

This organised procedure ensured that the new system met the safety, durability, and compliance criteria of the retail centre.

Results of the Project

The Stormwater Drain Replacement in Jindalee, QLD had both short-term and long-term benefits:
