Coffs Harbour City Council / Bellingen

The Bellingen area South of Coffs Harbour is well known for its sub-tropical rain forest as well as the incredibly heavy rainfall the region experiences as part of its unique environment.

A series of torrential rain events had caused severe scouring of the Bellinger River banks putting many residents in danger as the stability of access roads to farms and properties was severely threatened.

GSS was engaged by Council to stabilise the river bank and successfully undertook the project using dewatering services and a technique we had employed in similar situations previously.

Soil Nailing and Mac Mat R, we were able to provide a long-term solution, stabilising the bank and promoting the regrowth of the natural vegetation in the affected areas.
