Contract Description

​

Base have been working with the landowner and the building developer for over 4 years in transforming the steep undulating site into a terraced 17 lot subdivision above Battery Hill, Frankton Road.  Suitable for high quality apartment construction.  

​

The site itself and its geology made it challenging for earthworks and the protection for those below.

​

Much of the subdivision development & infrastructure construction was concurrent with apartments being built which created access and safety challenges with many trades & subcontractors also working within the site.

​

• The project has had three phases with the initial being mainly earthworks for the construction of a new site access road.

• Extensive earthworks, roading, reticulated & utility services for 17 lot multi unit apartments on steep rocky site 

• 600m – 300mm PE water line, drainage works on S.H. 6A & thrust bores under
