Proposed Gold Coast Desalination Plant Expansion - Upcoming geotechnical investigation

Geotechnical investigations will be conducted on the week of 27 May 2024 (weather and conditions permitting) at Lancashire Park,  Mudgeeraba.

Upcoming works

Geotechnical investigations will be conducted on the week of 27 May 2024 between the hours of 6.30am and 5.30pm (weather and conditions permitting) at Lancashire Park, 41 Lancashire Drive, Mudgeeraba. 

The geotechnical investigation is comprised of borehole drilling and standard penetration testing with a ‘hammer’ to collect soil samples for laboratory testing. 

What can I expect?

  • Geotechnical engineers onsite 

  • Mobile drill rig and equipment operating onsite 

  • Borehole drilling and hammering in the south east corner of the park 

  • Nearby residents may experience intermittent noise and vibration 

  • The drilling process will create small holes in the ground which will be filled in upon completion of the investigation.
