How was Structerre involved?
Last year, we had the honour of being selected by the City of Bunbury to help execute this complex plan. Our involvement with the project was to provide a dilapidation/structural assessment of all structures within the boundaries of the sites, where we identified all the existing structures, determined the current level of dilapidation, and provided guidance on risk. We were requested to attend the site to determine the structural condition of all structures within the boundary of the park and provide a rating system for the urgency of remedial action.
Our team conducted a structural condition survey on stairs, landings, retaining walls, mortared rock pitching, kerbs and pedestrian footpaths as allowed by the owner of the properties and accessible areas that are permissible within the Boulters Heights limits. We outlined the probable causes of damage were present in addition to remedial recommendations to reduce the likelihood of future damage.
Additionally, we provided a ranking system to direct the priority of future works. Using this system, we produced a spreadsheet to accompany the report, which identifies each structure present within the boundaries of Boulters Heights, including the ranking of dilapidation, and a brief summary of remedial works required.
From this, the City of Bunbury has prepared a master plan, which is currently in its draft stage.
