Our role on the project.

  • Machine control and guidance bulk earthworks and trenches for culverts, including updating and redesigning machine models. Support provided for Leica, Trimble and Topcon machines.
  • Pegging and verification of LUC boundaries and heritage exclusion zones. QA, verification and as-constructed surveys.
  • Design of access tracks and calculation of earthworks quantities to support construction planning.
  • Volume calculations and progress claim reporting.
  • Redesign and optimisation of culvert layouts to suit site conditions and construction requirements.
  • Engineering set-out of 9 culvert installations totalling over 900m in length.
OUTCOME

Delivery that makes a difference.

  • Delivered timely survey and machine guidance support throughout the project.
