Our Project

Surcharge Mound, Bundoora

This project involved the creation of a surcharge mound aimed at evaluating the ground’s integrity at the property formerly run as GB Landfill. Given its history as a landfill site, this was essential in determining the land’s suitability for development.

We were responsible for creating a piling pad to facilitate the installation of 1,000 wick drains, which played a critical role in enhancing soil drainage and stability. This effort was essential for improving ground conditions and optimizing drainage efficiency.

We sourced and imported 5,000T of crushed rock and 75,000 cubic metres of compactible fill under level 1 supervision for the construction of the surcharge mound.

Remarkably, the entire project was completed within a span of three months, with all compaction requirements met at level 1 standards. This accomplishment underscores our commitment to efficiency, quality, and meeting project deadlines.
