Only a few trucks are running today while quarry deliveries arrive tomorrow. We’re compacting sand, rolling the driveway, and shaping a ramp so trucks can access the site safely—without getting stuck.
Today’s work is focused on building a certified 250kPa platform to support a larger piling rig. The goal is to reduce vibration impacts on neighbouring homes and prepare the site for upcoming sheet piling works.
An update on our platform preparation works, including bulk earthworks, excavation quantities, bearing platform requirements, and the next steps toward geotechnical certification.
We’ve secured DA approval and are lining up insurance, sheet piling, and dewatering. Lots of paperwork and coordination now—visible progress begins once sheet piling and dewatering start.
Behind-the-scenes site update: tie-downs, groundwater tests, survey orders, and the cost trade-offs between sheet piling and secant piles—plus why dewatering and backup power are critical.
