Terara Levee Audit Final Report

Sinclair Knight Merz was commissioned by Shoalhaven City Council to carry out an audit of Terara Levee. The study was required to cover the following areas:

  • Survey of the top of the levee in order to identify any low areas and allow an assessment of the size of flood that the levee could withstand before overtopping
  • Cross section survey of the levee
  • Geotechnical investigation to identify soil types and their soil parameters
  • assessment of the stability of the levee under all conditions
  • Assessment of the causes of erosion of the river bank and the magnitude of the effects
  • Identification of appropriate cost effective environmentally friendly protection measures and the cost of the works
  • Costing of recommended works for bank protection and to bring the levee to a uniform height
