I have received the Technical Specifications Document and thoroughly reviewed the details
provided for the upcoming urban road project from Serpentine to Mardella in South Perth, WA. I
appreciate the comprehensive information encapsulated in the attached document, covering
drawings, engineering survey, design brief, specifications, data for selecting design options,
geotechnical information, and hydrological, meteorological, cultural, and heritage data.
I am eager to contribute to the success of this significant project and have commenced work on
the assigned tasks as per your guidance. Here is a brief overview of my progress:
Risk Assessment, Compliance Check, and Design Plan: I have initiated the risk
assessment process, conducted compliance checks, and commenced outlining the
design plan as per the provided templates. This phase aims to ensure that potential risks
are identified, compliance checks are conducted thoroughly, and an effective design plan
is developed.
Calculations Related to Design: Concurrently, I am working on the necessary calculations
related to the design, incorporating the technical specifications and requirements
outlined in the provided documents.
Analysis Report and Detailed Cross-Section Diagram: Once the initial tasks are
completed, my next step will be to prepare the analysis report, outlining two viable design
options for the urban roads and providing a recommendation based on the optimal
choice. Additionally, I will create a detailed cross-section diagram to visually represent
the proposed design.
Earthwork Cost Estimation: The Earthwork Cost Estimation is underway, and I will provide
a detailed breakdown of the cutting and filling quantities along with associated costs.
I have attached the current progress for your review:
●
Risk Assessment Document
●
Compliance Check Report
●
Initial Design Plan Outline
●
Calculations for Design
●
Preliminary Earthwork Cost Estimation
Following the completion of these tasks, I will schedule a meeting with the stakeholders to
review and validate the design. Post-review, I will send you an email for final approval, attaching
all relevant documents prepared for this project.
Should any queries or clarifications arise during the process, I will promptly reach out for your
guidance.
Thank you for entrusting me with this responsibility, and I am committed to ensuring the
successful delivery of the project to the highest standards.
Warm regards,

Task 5: Participate in the review and validation of the design
Task description:
This task is a continuation of the previous task. In this task, you are required to conduct a
meeting with the
stakeholders (represented by your trainer-assessor). In the review meeting, you are required to,
List and clarify any five (5) work activities/ work requirements from the documents (for example,
cross-
section, geotechnical report, etc.) and document what you discussed and reviewed. (150-200
words)
List any three (3) requirements that could be included in the design for improvement, and also
seek expert
feedback/suggestions. (100-200 words)
You must document the discussion of the review and validation meeting and submit it via email
to your supervisor
in a PDF version.

Review and Validation Meeting Documentation
Discussion and Review of Work Activities/Requirements:
Cross-Sectional Design: During the meeting, we thoroughly discussed and clarified the
cross-sectional design, emphasizing the road width, shoulder specifications, and the
provision for pedestrian pathways. We ensured alignment with the AS 5100 standards for
urban road design.
Geotechnical Report Clarification: The geotechnical report was a key focus, specifically
addressing the identified location with potential rock obstructions. We discussed
strategies for adapting the design to mitigate any challenges posed by the rock
formation, ensuring the road's stability and longevity.
Hydrological and Meteorological Considerations: The discussion included a review of
hydrological data to understand water flow patterns and drainage requirements. We
examined meteorological data to plan critical construction activities outside peak rainfall
months, ensuring the road's resilience.
Cultural and Heritage Impact Assessment: The impact assessment on cultural and
heritage sites was extensively reviewed. We ensured that the design takes into account
the absence of such sites along the road alignment and discussed strategies for
collaboration with heritage bodies during construction to preserve local heritage.
Road Lifespan and Traffic Volume Analysis: The projected traffic volume and the
expected road lifespan were carefully analyzed. We discussed design considerations to
accommodate the estimated 20,000 vehicles per day and ensure the road's durability for
at least 30 years.
Requirements for Design Improvement and Expert Feedback:
Smart Road Integration: One improvement discussed was the integration of smart road
technologies. Seeking expert feedback on incorporating intelligent traffic management
systems and real-time monitoring to enhance road safety and efficiency.
Green Infrastructure Enhancement: We explored the possibility of enhancing green
infrastructure along the road, aligning with stakeholder feedback for landscaping.
Seeking expert advice on integrating sustainable and aesthetically pleasing greenery into
the design.
Public Spaces Integration: To further improve community engagement, we discussed the
inclusion of public spaces or rest areas along the road. Seeking expert opinions on
creating spaces that promote community interaction and well-being.
Meeting Summary:
The meeting successfully clarified key work activities and requirements, ensuring alignment with
standards and regulations. The discussion on design improvements and seeking expert
feedback will contribute to an enhanced and community-centric urban road project.

Task 6: Case Study
Task description:
During the preliminary survey for the construction of the road, the surveyor team identified a huge
rock along the
alignment of the road. This rock posed a significant obstacle to the construction of the road, and
the team had to
decide how to best remove it.
One option was to remove the rock by explosion method. This would have been the most cost-
effective and
efficient way to proceed, but it also had the potential to cause significant environmental damage.
Explosions can
release harmful pollutants into the air and water, and they can also damage nearby habitats.

Another option was to remove the rock by mechanical means. This would have been a more
time-consuming and
expensive option, but it would have also been less environmentally damaging. Mechanical
methods, such as
drilling, can be used to remove rocks without causing the same level of environmental damage
as explosions.
1. Analyse both options carefully and give your opinion. (150-200 words)
2. Also include the environmental impacts and probable risks associated with using these
methods. (150-200
words)
3. Suggest mitigation measures to apply. (100-150 words)
4. What impacts it may have on the community when the explosion method is applied? (100-150
words)
You are required to document your suggestions to the above questions in a pdf file.

Case Study Analysis: Rock Removal Options
Opinion on Removal Methods:
The explosion method, while cost-effective and efficient, poses significant environmental
risks. Considering the potential harm to air and water quality and habitat disruption, the
mechanical method is a more sustainable choice. Although it may be more time-
consuming and costly, its lower environmental impact aligns with the project's
commitment to sustainability.
Environmental Impacts and Probable Risks:
●
Explosion Method:
●
Environmental Impacts:
Air and water pollution, habitat destruction,
potential harm to nearby ecosystems.
●
Probable Risks:
Uncontrolled release of pollutants, long-term damage to
surrounding environment, disturbance to wildlife.
●
Mechanical Method:
●
Environmental Impacts:
Noise pollution, soil disturbance.
●
Probable Risks:
Soil erosion, temporary disruption to local fauna.
Mitigation Measures:
●
Explosion Method: Implement advanced blasting techniques to minimize
fragmentation and control pollutants' release. Use containment measures to
prevent pollutants from entering water bodies.
●
Mechanical Method: Employ efficient drilling practices to minimize noise and soil
disturbance. Implement sediment control measures during mechanical removal.
Community Impacts (Explosion Method):
The explosion method may cause temporary inconvenience and anxiety within the
community due to noise and potential air pollution. Communication strategies, including
public awareness campaigns and advance notices, are crucial to inform and reassure the
community. Additionally, scheduling explosions during non-peak hours can minimize
disturbances.
