Large Scale Bulk Earthworks (cut to fill and cut to stockpile): >100,000m3 and including import of gravels
High level social procurement targets: >50% of labour hours from (immediate) local subcontractors, plus 25% of contract spend with Indigenous contractors/workers
Large Gabion Walls construction – 500m long and up to 3.5m high
Key Challenges
Very high strength basalt rock throughout majority of site footprint
Site remediation and clearing
Site dewatering – sub tropical site climate conditions, with more than 1,600mm of rainfall occuring throughout works programme
