The growth of suburbs requires
the extension and expansion of infrastructure such as roads and utilities. At
the Kampe Farm development a bordering arterial road requires widening to
accommodate increased traffic. A portion of Jackson Creek, which borders the
road, needs to be relocated to allow road widening. As an alternative to the
environmentally degrading piping or re-channelizing of the creek, a plan was
produced to relocate the creek and allow it to meander within its floodplain.
In-house hydraulic modeling was performed to guide the creek layout, grading,
road crossing sizes, and habitat features.
