Case Studies

Kehoe Myers was engaged by Brown and Hurley for the design and documentation of the proposed New Parts Shed at their location in Toowoomba. We completed the Civil Engineering required during Planning Phase as well as coordination of the project team. Upon acceptance of the concept design we completed the detailed design and documentation of the Civil, Hydraulic and Structural Engineering services. The Stormwater drainage on the site proved to be complex with a unique solution of creating a culvert drain underneath the building being completed. The Structural Design involved design of footings and slab (accommodating the culvert), the suspended steel floor landing structure and stairs, the reinforced precast concrete (tilt-up load bearing walls which also acted as retaining walls below floor slab level.

Kehoe Myers was engaged by Clearspan c/o JRS for the design and documentation of the extension to the manufacturing facility in Wilsonton. The Civil Engineering design involved general siteworks including driveway crossover, vehicular access areas, carparking and site drainage as well as stormwater drainage and erosion and sediment control. To minimise construction costs we utilised the storage capacity within the proposed stormwater system which eliminated the need for a rainwater storage tank. The Hydraulic Engineering design included Fire water supply, domestic water supply, Sanitary P&D Applications and Roof Drainage Design. Structural Design involved detailed footing calculations to accommodate the machinery being installed. This machinery required isolated piled footings to minimise any movement, the overall slab was a reinforced slab. We also completed the structural design and documentation of the covered areas and Tilt-ups.

Kehoe Myers are excited to a Design Team Member for the upcoming Wellcamp Resource Transformation Project. It is vital for the environment that we work on better alternatives for waste than landfills. Pyrocal (another proud Toowoomba based company) has demonstrated the new technology to facilitate this alternative method. We provided the Civil and Hydraulic Engineering for the Site and the Site Work Plan. Civil Engineering Design and Documentation included: Stormwater Management Plan to tie into the existing Masterplan of the Wellcamp Business Park. Planning Phase Services Bulk Earthworks Site Drainage Carparking and Vehicle Maneuvering. Hydraulic Engineering Design and Documentation included: Service Connections, up to the building envelope. Connections to the trunk infrastructure. Fire Hydrant Connections.
