Project Overview / Description

 Townsville City Council engaged CivilPlus Constructions to perform bank remediation works at Crystal Creek in Mutarnee. During the 2019 floods, a pineapple farm on the western bank of Crystal Creek suffered significant bank erosion.

The project involved expanding the channel, reshaping the earth, and installing pile retarders along the bank to redirect water flow and mitigate scouring. The timber pile fields consisted of 312, 6-meter long timber piles installed across 10 retards. Rock protection was installed to the top of each pile retard, and the area was revegetated.
