Cotton Seed Distributors are world-leading cotton seed farmers and are the sole suppliers of cotton seed throughout Australia. Located in Wee Waa in NSW, CSD operate from a state-of-the-art processing plant that features delinting and treating facilities, as well as laboratories and storage facilities.
As lead engineers for this $91 million redevelopment, we delivered a bespoke design solution to fit CSD’s specific operational requirements. The structural design had to consider the loads caused by machine vibrations as part of the delinting process along with the expansive clays found in the Wee Waa area.
RMA’s stormwater and civil teams designed a unique and tailored solution to provide flood immunity for the site’s flat topography. The team undertook extensive modelling and analysis for a bespoke design solution that included a levee bank that surrounded the entire site.
