SCOPE OF WORKS

  • We loaded, hauled and dumped fly ash material using 5 excavators to side cast material into place, trim and compact material. The fly ash forms both internal and external levee bank walls.
  • Geofabric was used to line the internal bank to minimise erosion, the Geofabric was covered with 11,000 tonnes of 200mm rip rap scour protection rock that was crushed by our Port Augusta Quarry.
  • Concrete filled spill way matting was used to form an emergency over flow in the dams most northern levee bank.
