The Quarry at Keperra, developed by Frasers Property Australia, is a landmark project located 9km from the Brisbane CBD that epitomizes innovative design and construction.
Once an inner-city granite quarry, this site has been transformed into an elevated residential community with resort-style amenities. Douglas Partners is proud to play a pivotal role in this transformation, providing geotechnical expertise that ensured the project’s success.
Our Contribution to The Quarry
As the geotechnical engineering partner for The Quarry, Douglas Partners support the project with a suite of specialized services, including:
- Geotechnical Investigations: Comprehensive subsurface analysis to understand ground conditions and mitigate risks.
- Landslide Hazard Assessment: Detailed analysis of slope stability risks across the site to ensure safety for residents of the Quarry utilising best practice approaches.
- Rock Face Stabilisation Design: Positive support measures to support rock faces across the site.
- Global Stability Assessment: Analysis to demonstrate that the foundations of the large onsite retaining walls meet design factor of safeties,
- Compaction Control Testing: Ensuring the stability and safety of foundational works for roads and allotments and other key infrastructure.
- On-Site Inspections: Providing ongoing technical support during construction to address geotechnical challenges promptly.
Our geotechnical engineers and geologists work closely with the design and construction teams to ensure that the ground conditions support the ambitious vision for this community.
