EGB123Go Between Bridge Southern Abutment: Geotechnical Engineer EGB123 Civil Engineering Systems Pty LtdEngineer: [enter name] of Team: [enter number]
EXECUTIVE SUMMARYThe geotechnical investigation of the southern abutment of the Go Between Bridge is veryessential in the study of the engineering systems in the region. It shows how the bridgesystem relates to every other infrastructural system. The study conducted by the teamarrived at this conclusion by studying various relationships and policies, some of which arediscussed below. The study is conducted on the Kurilpa Point region bound by the river bank, M3 Highway and Brisbane Corso. The geotechnical information about this area has been obtained from primary sources on site, secondary sources e.g. existing literature about the area and its engineering components and the study of the area’s map.Through investigation and research, we have identified the nature of the abutment, having acknowledged that it is a cantilever bridge, and the factors which would play a huge role in designing it including aesthetics, strength, durability and serviceability etc. Defining these factors helps indicate the relationship between the southern abutment of the bridge and the infrastructural systems around it including the roads, buildings and ferry system.It has been observed that the construction of this bridge would incorporate both onsite and offsite operations to the realization of a structurally integral structure which should fall under the design criteria specified by the Bridge code.EGB123 Civil Engineering Systems Pty Ltd

1INTRODUCTION1.1BACKGROUNDWrite a brief one paragraph statement about what your geotechnical engineering investigation is about and its needs.The Kurilpa Point Urban Investigation Zone is located at the South Brisbane region in the south east region of Queensland State. It is approximately four kilometres west of East Brisbane on the Brisbane River (Figure 1). The whole area is surrounded by Brisbane River which separates the North and South of Brisbane. The Go Between Bridge separates Kurilpa Point from the North area of Brisbane and being one of the only two bridges in the area, it serves residents coming from the south too as far as Queensland University. This is all shown in the Map screenshot of the area (Figure 1) and in the MyMaps page indicated in section2 below.Figure 1: Kurilpa Area MapThere has been an increasing pressure for further development as evidenced by the Brisbane City Council’s website and plans are underway to optimize the land use for both residential and tourism purposes. The development is within the coastline and in surrounding areas. In a bid to analytically understand future environmentally sensitive land uses, Riverbend Public Private Partnership purposes to carry out urban study area investigations for the whole Kurilpa Point area. To facilitate the preparation of this Plan, Gosford City Council commissioned Webb, The urban study area investigation is bounded generally by Brisbane River, M3 Highway on the East and Brisbane Corso on the South East.EGB123 Civil Engineering Systems Pty Ltd
