Overview
OSM Concrete & Civil completed a public footpath upgrade along Clover Hill Drive in Mudgeeraba, delivering a safer and more accessible pedestrian connection for the local community.
The works included the construction of approximately 287 lineal metres of new concrete footpath across varying 1.5m and 2.0m path widths, along with kerb ramp upgrades, driveway tie-ins, service coordination, grouted rock batter works, pedestrian barrier fencing, and turf reinstatement to disturbed areas.
A key feature of this project was the combination of practical civil construction with a visually considered finish. Alongside the new concrete pathway, the team constructed grouted rock batter sections to stabilise and finish the sloped verge areas beside the path.
The project was also a strong outcome for the local community. With the new footpath positioned close to the school, the completed works helped create a safer and more accessible environment for pedestrians, including students, families, and residents moving through the area.considerations throughout construction.
Scope of Works
- Construction of approximately 287 lineal metres of new concrete footpath
- 1.5m and 2.0m wide footpath sections
- 100mm thick N32 fibre reinforced heavy broom finish concrete footpath
- 125mm thick N32 steel reinforced concrete driveway sections
- Kerb ramp construction and upgrades
- Driveway crossover removal and reconstruction where required
- Grouted rock batter construction along sloped sections
- Subsoil drainage and service coordination works
- Installation of pedestrian barrier galvanised welded mesh fencing
- Tree trimming and vegetation clearance to suit the new pathway
- Topsoil and Wintergreen couch turf reinstatement to disturbed areas
Project Challenges
The project required careful set-out and coordination across a long public road frontage, with the footpath alignment transitioning through residential driveway crossings, kerb ramps, verge areas, sloped batters, and existing services.
Working around existing underground services, drainage, vegetation, property boundaries, and road infrastructure required detailed planning and accurate execution onsite. The sloped verge areas also required additional attention, with grouted stone pitching used to create a stable and durable finished batter beside the new pathway.
As the works were located within a residential community and close to a school environment, maintaining safe site access and delivering a neat finished result were important priorities throughout the project.
Construction & Delivery
The supplied design drawings showed an extensive staged pathway network through Terry & Carol Moore Park, including multiple curved alignment sections and long continuous pathway runs extending through the reserve.
The pathway design incorporated deep root concrete footpath details specifically intended to help protect mature vegetation while improving pedestrian accessibility throughout the parkland environment.
OSM Concrete coordinated pathway construction works carefully around existing site conditions while maintaining a clean and consistent finish across the project.
Outcome
The completed works provided a clean, durable, and practical pedestrian pathway through Clover Hill Drive, improving connectivity through the local area while creating a safer environment for pedestrians.
The new broom finished concrete footpath, upgraded kerb ramps, driveway tie-ins, pedestrian fencing, reinstated turf, and grouted rock batter sections combined to deliver a finished result that was both functional and visually suited to the surrounding streetscape.
This project is a strong example of OSM Concrete’s capability in public footpath construction, civil concrete works, detailed finishing, and community-focused infrastructure upgrades.
