Services Feasibility study and design of alternative crossings
Completion 1998
Extensive hydrological studies were undertaken to investigate the channel discharge and the
flood behaviour of the river in the general locality where a provisional ferry crossing has been
established.
A number of alternative sites and crossings were evaluated including the development of a
combined pontoon and Bailey structure to determine the most cost effective way to provide
for vehicular access.
Approach embankments were designed for overtopping in extreme floods and detailed
recommendations were made to upgrade the ferry. Investigations were carried out for the
bridge designs and for construction of ferry berthing ramps.
