Wellington Dam Bridge Replacement Project

Enveng Group was engaged by Seymour Whyte to provide environmental management, compliance and advisory services for the Wellington Dam Bridge Replacement Project on behalf of Water Corporation. The project involved bridge replacement works within a sensitive natural environment adjacent to Wellington Dam and associated waterways, requiring robust environmental management throughout construction activities.

Enveng supported the project through the review and implementation of the Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP), environmental compliance inspections, dewatering management, surface water quality monitoring and environmental advisory services. The team worked closely with Seymour Whyte’s construction personnel to ensure environmental obligations were effectively integrated into day-to-day construction activities and that compliance requirements were maintained throughout the project lifecycle.

Enveng’s services included both field-based and desktop support, providing regular site inspections, environmental monitoring, compliance reporting and technical advice for high-risk construction activities including dewatering, drill and blast works, excavation and bridge foundation construction. The team also supported contractor compliance management, environmental inductions and implementation of environmental controls to protect nearby waterways and surrounding environmental values.
