Project description

Station concourse remodelling, track drainage renewal and flood resilience assessment for the Irwell corridor.

Shoreline protection across 14 km of exposed frontage
Stormwater catchment remodelling after the 2021 rainfall event
412 boreholes over reclaimed and natural ground
Integrated public realm and utility corridor design

Key insights generated from historical data

Derived from the governed knowledge base

  • Drainage surcharge patterns here match 6 coastal projects across the Gulf and Red Sea.
  • Foundation solutions on reclaimed ground reused from Abu Dhabi Airport Development reduced design iteration by an estimated 4 weeks.
  • Shoreline erosion rates are 2.1× the regional median, informing the revetment design life.
