Services
Road Construction
We design and construct major road infrastructure including flexible and rigid pavements. Our capabilities cover earthworks, traffic signalisation, and street lighting for urban and arterial roads. Projects like Constitution Avenue Upgrade demonstrate our expertise in creating sustainable transport corridors with dedicated bus lanes and cycle paths.
Bridge Construction
Our bridge construction includes new builds and strengthening of heritage structures. The Naas Road Bridge project showcases our ability to overhaul designs mid-construction while maintaining flood resilience. We handle complex elements like post-tensioned concrete and load-bearing enhancements for both modern and historic bridges.
Water Infrastructure
We deliver comprehensive water infrastructure solutions including potable water systems, sewerage networks, and stormwater management. The Molonglo Valley Interceptor Sewer project highlights our capacity to design and construct advanced odour control units integrated with existing 3m diameter trunk mains across 6km stretches.
Underground Services
Our underground services include electrical duct systems and major utility installations. For Essential Energy, we utilised micro-tunnelling technology to install 132kV transmission ducts beneath critical water infrastructure, maintaining 1.5m clearance while preserving service integrity in Jerrabomberra.
Public Realm Upgrades
We revitalise urban spaces through pedestrian-friendly designs incorporating landscaping, lighting, and traffic management. The Braddon Public Realm Upgrade demonstrates our ability to enhance connectivity and retail activation while maintaining operational bus interchanges in busy town centres.
