2. Normanby Road Early Works
2.1 Overview of Works
The Normanby Road early works involve demolition of the building at 11 Water Street, establishment of a Construction Support Area, construction of a temporary pedestrian bridge across the NAL and two retaining walls, and diversion of temporary and permanent utilities (such as water, wastewater, stormwater, gas, electricity and communications) along and in the vicinity of Normanby Road.
The early works are required in advance of the main construction works to provide adequate clearance between the CRL works and network utilities to enable construction of retaining walls, the Normanby Road grade separation bridge and the realigned Normanby Road / Boston Road / Nugent Street roundabout.
The Normanby Road early works are planned to extend over eight months, between February 2020 and September 2020. Figure 2.1 shows the area of these works.
Figure 2-1: Extent of the Normanby Road early works area
Refer to the CEMP for a detailed description of the works.
2.2 Topography and Drainage
The Normanby Road early works area encompasses 7 stormwater sub-catchments. The catchments and their boundaries are shown on Figure 2-2. All drainage flows to Motions Creek via the existing and future stormwater system (Figure 2-3). Page 11 | Normanby Road Early Works
The topography of the Normanby Rd early works area ranges in slope from 0.2% to 20%.
The topography of the area will be altered with the lifting of Normanby Road for the grade separation of the road from the rail corridor as part of the subsequent main construction works.

Figure 2-3: Motions Creek Catchment (Normanby Rd Early Works stormwater sub-catchments within blue box)
A large portion of Normanby Road is subject to the 1% Annual Exceedance Probability (AEP) floodplain and hence is a flood sensitive area. Overland flow paths (OLFPs) and flood sensitive areas in the Normanby Road early works area are shown in Figure 2-4 below.

The OLFPs in this area will be altered due to the change of alignment of Normanby Road with construction of the permanent road over rail bridge and grade separation. The impact of that change and how it will be managed during main works construction does not form part of this early works ESCP.
2.3 Construction Methodology
The Normanby Road early works will be divided into stages as described in the CEMP and the Construction Staging Plans in Appendix B of the CEMP. The construction sequence is summarised in Table 2.1 below.
2.4 Earthworks
Earthworks associated with the Normanby Road early works will largely comprise:
excavation associated with network utility diversions (involving open trenching using excavators and hydro excavation trucks and directional drilling); contouring to establish Construction Support Area (CSA); and excavation associated with the construction ofone retaining wall and car park regrading at 32 Normanby Road.
The approximate earthworks areas and volumes required for the early works by construction stage are outlined in Table 2.1 below.
