The scope of works includes the importation and placement of over 127,000 tonnes of locally-sourced gravel, heavy formation grading, and gravel re-sheeting to reinstate damaged roads. Additional tasks encompass bulk filling, patch repairs, in-situ stabilisation, sealing, pipework replacement, and headwall reconstruction, all while ensuring stringent traffic management measures are in place.
We are dedicated to the ongoing enhancement of Cassowary Coast’s Road infrastructure. The unwavering support from both State and Federal governments is crucial to our success, and we are profoundly grateful for their continued contributions. Through our collective efforts and these essential partnerships, we are committed to ensuring that our road network remains safe, reliable, and of the highest standard.
