Table Top Landslip Flood Remediation Works

During the 2021 – 2022 Flood Events across the Toowoomba Region, a landslip occurred on the Table Top Drive eastern escarpment compromising the integrity of the embankment directly adjacent to the road.

The batter stabilisation project focussed on addressing the instability along Table Top Drive, including reshaping the adjacent bank on the high side of the road to reduce the surcharge, anchoring the slip below the road with 9m long passive dowels, and securing the area with shotcrete to protect against future erosion or slips. Additionally, the storm water surface drainage was re-directed to avoid scouring of the downstream batter. These important works required specialised machinery to traverse the steep embankment without further disturbance or impacts around the landslip site.

These remediation works were part of the 2022 Flood Recovery Program which contributed to the correction of various landslip locations across the Toowoomba region. The QRA approved value for this project was circa $1.38 million.
