A great project to have been a part of. The team appreciated being part of the discussions to co-design on the scope variations. We received early access to site to suit continuity of works, maintaining our skilled workforce. The works varied with road pavements to suit HME and to suit light vehicles, as well as an electrical equipment pad and extending the tray change out pad for a future office. All whilst maintaining segregation and traffic management with traffic guidance schemes developed to comply with AS1742.3:2019, the MRWA Traffic Management for Works on Roads Code of Practice, and the Austroads Guide to Temporary Traffic Management Part 3 for Static Worksites.
