Project Highlights

Poor ground conditions required iterative soil testing to meet standard weight bearing, which were overcome with assistance from both our engaged engineer and soil consultants. Quality control for consistent slab finishes was also difficult, requiring careful timing of the pours, communication with suppliers and finishers to get the required result. No re-pours were required due to our diligence.
The project was completed in accordance with the program and to the great satisfaction of the client and business owners. The depot has increased the capacity of the business threefold, with room for more growth. Efficiency has increased, with expanded warehousing, sorting area and streamlined loading and unloading facilities. The staff also benefit from new state of the art facilities and well organised offices.
