Wacol Warehouse Drainage Investigation
Structural investigation of the Wacol Warehouse drainage channel to identify subsurface voids and defects and quantify cracking and displacement behavior along the channel system.
Scope
Concrete drainage channel investigation including GPR survey, crack and displacement logging, and technical reporting.
Challenge
The site required channel condition clarity in an active industrial environment where broad shutdown-driven demolition was not practical. The client needed an evidence-based way to focus remediation effort and avoid speculative over-scoping.
Approach
SiteOps applied targeted GPR scanning and condition logging to map suspect zones, then integrated scan and visual data into a structured technical report. This approach identified where intervention was most likely to be necessary while preserving site operations.
Outcome
The investigation delivered practical inputs for staged remediation planning and reduced uncertainty around hidden channel defects. Teams were able to prioritize high-risk areas first.
Investigation data
Key findings
Void-prone and defect-prone channel zones were identified through scan and visual correlation
Crack and displacement patterns were documented for engineering review
Findings supported targeted rectification over broad speculative intervention
Operational disruption was minimized during evidence collection
Reporting clarified likely repair priority zones for next-stage works
