Project highlights

  • Works were undertaken within an area of the densest concentration of Aboriginal artefacts in Australia.  As a result significant reprogramming and rescheduling was required to assist the client to progress the works.
  • An innovative design for a high security custom designed inner perimeter security concrete kerb was accepted at tender resulting in a saving to the client of over $500,000 and resulting in a superior finish in the final product.
  • Extensive use of additional local resources and machinery were utilised during the course of the project.
