Water discharge pipe

During May 2012, Transcity will install a small 150mm pipe to provide an outlet for water from the tunnels during construction. This pipe will connect into the existing stormwater drain in Dean Street, Toowong. It is expected that this activity will take approximately two to three weeks to complete.

Transcity has developed a route for the pipe that will run alongside and between the existing bike and pedestrian paths, ensuring that the work is undertaken within previously disturbed areas of ANZAC Park.

Transcity is liaising with the Friends of ANZAC Park and heritage experts to ensure any areas of heritage significance are avoided during this work.

The work will involve the installation of a pipe under the Western Freeway via an underbore from the area within the shared user path ramp to the western worksite. This will then connect into a newly laid section of pipe that will be installed via into a small trench adjacent to the bike path, which leads to the stormwater drain in Dean Street. Transcity will reinstate and returf all work areas once complete.

In coming days, Transcity will complete a visual survey of the area. Once the design is confirmed, Transcity will be able to provide further details on this work to keep the community and park users informed.
