Executive Summary
Gearon Civil worked as a team with Melbourne Water and Alex Fraser to successfully complete this project on time and budget. The project was run extremely well with a seamless methodology that meant we had very good supply of quarry product which kept the job safe and enabled us to reach our program goals.
One of the largest challenges was the shear number of trucks involved throughout the project. The project had to be staged in a way that minimised the traffic interface both onsite and on public roads. The staging worked well, there were no safety incidents.
We built a strong relationship with the Melbourne Water team during this project based on excellent results in safety, efficiency and transparency.
