The Rise, Shorehaven - Stage 2
Project Location: Alkimos, WA | Client: RJ Vincent |
Value: $200k>$500k | Project Timeline: 2012/2013 |
With a team of around fifteen people, Reilly Contractors was responsible for the excavation & installation of underground services at the Rise in Shorehaven Stage 2. These services included sewer, stormwater, water reticulation, irrigation, gas, power & communications.
The challenge with this subdivision was the hard rock excavation. This was made all the more easier with the Erkat Rock Wheel. This allowed us to achieve exceptional cpmpressive strength which allowed us to increase our excavation rate through harder rock types and in many cases we could also use the by-product as backfill material.
The extreme weather conditions we encountered working so close to the coast, also meant that we had to deal with sand drift.
The area was also being used by the public on weekends so it was imperative that we ensured all excavations were backfilled progressively and that all areas were well barriered and made safe for public use.
This stage has now been completed
