(Program Leader: Prof A Johnston, JCU)
The improvement of engineering practices for the design, construction
and operation of Reef facilities and coastal development infrastructure
is the major objective of the Program. To meet this, a range of applied
engineering research tasks have been established to provide management
agencies, private developers and engineering consultants with guidelines
to improve safety, minimise impacts and understand the effects of various
engineering developments in the Great Barrier Reef.
A highlight of the Engineering Program as a whole has been developing
effective linkages with a broad spectrum of the engineering industry and
researchers in Australia and elsewhere. Strong collaborative support is
being provided by Reef management agencies and the tourism operators,
and interim results have been picked up and used by a wide range of the
Centre's stakeholders.
