Our design team aligned design concepts with stakeholder objectives, utilising our extensive structural design experience and engineering best practices to draft the design reports and design methodologies efficiently and quickly.
The design addressed a large upstream catchment by intercepting and diverting storm waterflows around the site with large open swales. A large downstream basin was also designed to collect site stormwater catchments while also maintaining capacity to contain any fire water refuse runoff.
The project’s requirement for gravel finishes on all access roads meant close co-ordination with the Pavement Design Engineer. This ensured that drainage and grading constraints were satisfied while integrating gravelled site areas and considering ongoing environmental dust controls.
We provided an economical design solution to ensure the individual footings for over 400 battery units were able to be constructed within the project budget. We collaborated closely with the client and site contractor to determine and fine-tune the footing designs from a cost, safety and constructability perspective.
Orion’s coordinated and collaborative approach and technical expertise facilitated prompt client review and approval, enabling early site commencement to meet the desired deadline.
