PROJECT 3.3: ENGINEERING GUIDELINES: DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION
(Dr S Massel, AIMS)
This project will provide 'environmentally friendly' engineering input
to existing GBRMPA guidelines to help applicants in the permit process,
and produce guidelines for consulting engineers to encourage efficient
design, construction and operation of facilities in the Reef which have
minimal physical, biological, cultural and social impacts.
A broad reference database has been established and compiled on a bibliographic
database. Work has proceeded on preparation of the structure, and component
sections on design philosophy, risk assessment and hydraulic design conditions.
The document will be presented in four parts to meet the range of requirements
and applications of prospective developers (concept), proponents for installations
(planning), designers (design) and GBRMPA officers (approval). A program
for internal and external review of the guideline components has been
developed, involving consultation with professional and industry groups
and the public.
