Project
details:
The innovative re-design of the earthworks included a cement stabilisation
process. This innovation resulted in a reduction of over 3,000 vehicle
movements and the negation of 30,000 m3 of fill material. A more
efficient piling design allowed a significant reduction in pile
lengths on the project.
The material stabilisation and piling design
reduced both the time and cost of completion
Savings were passed on to the client
