Projects

The City of Launceston redeveloped the former industrial land located on the northern bank of the South Esk river, now known as Riverbend Park. This site was a part of the North Bank Recreation precinct proposal, which also included adjoining land where the Boral concrete batching plant was previously located.

Initial works involved site preparation for the amenities and structures that were to be built. Site works included bulk civil earth works, water supply, stormwater and sewage infrastructure and the installation of power reticulation and communication conduits and pits.

This civil project for the West Tamar Council consisted of upgrades to Freshwater Point Road alongside Brigalow Street and Legana Grove. A boulevard consisting of traffic islands, traffic lights, storm water main, water main, electrical conduits, irrigation lines, new paving and lighting was also constructed.

The project required major earthworks, including carting off site and importing select gravels for the new road projects.

The Longford to Perth water main involved the construction of 6.4km of pipework, comprising of a combination of single and dual 375mm PVC and HDPE water mains between Longford and Perth.

Pipework has been installed using both trenched and trenchless techniques (directional drilling). Construction required installation of air, scour and isolation valves and connection to both existing pipework and existing reservoir. Multiple private connections and reduced pressure zone devices (RPZD) were also constructed.

Works were performed on private property, in roads and road reserves and public land.
