3.6 Public utility and drainage adjustment
Electricity transmission lines, drainage infrastructure, telephone lines, water mains,
fibre optics, gas mains and traffic infrastructure are located within the proposal
footprint. As such, public utility and drainage adjustments would be required during
the civil works.
Public utility and drainage adjustments would only be required as a result of the
following typical traffic capacity improvement works described in Table 3-2:
· 1: Intersection reconfiguration and geometry modifications
· 2: Kerb extension alterations
· 3: Footpath width alterations.
Affected public utility companies would be consulted as part of the detailed design
works to identify and locate existing or proposed utilities. Additional survey works
would take place to confirm the location of each utility prior to construction.
Table 3-11 shows each location where existing utilities have been identified. The
level of survey information collected at this stage does not confirm the exact location
of the utility within the road corridor or its depth below the road surface.
