Industrial Processing Facility, Wellcamp
Located within the Wellcamp Business Park, the Envorinex Plastics Re-Processing Facility stands as a beacon of innovation and sustainability in the region. This cutting-edge facility is dedicated to the reprocessing of rigid plastics from various industries, including agriculture, aquaculture, horticulture, and industrial sectors, transforming them into plastic pellets for remanufacturing and recycling.
Our involvement in this project encompassed Civil and Hydraulic Engineering works, aiming to create a seamless integration of infrastructure while adhering to stringent regulatory standards and environmental considerations.
Key aspects of our contribution included the preparation of the Engineering Infrastructure Report, detailing traffic assessments and vehicular manoeuvring requirements for the proposed new car park and driveways. Development of the Conceptual Stormwater Management Plan, ensuring compliance with local authority and Queensland Urban Drainage Manual (QUDM) requirements, while also addressing downstream network conditions.
As well as detailed design and documentation of the facility, encompassing street and car park drainage, roof water capture and storage, water quality provisions, and service connections for water supply and firewater compliance. Oversight of general site works, including building platforms, vehicular access areas, car parking, and pedestrian areas, as well as structural engineering inspections throughout the construction process.
The facility itself comprises two industrial sheds spanning 2,000 square meters each, a 300 square meter office space, and a vast 4,000 square meter concrete sealed hardstand area. Cost-effective construction methodologies were employed, such as utilising rock around the batter in lieu of retaining walls, to accommodate the large hardstand area required for material handling and laydown.
Notably, the hydraulic system was designed as a semi-closed-loop system to maximise water efficiencies, allowing non-potable water to be utilised by the machinery, further enhancing sustainability practices.
