Significant road infrastructure had been damaged during tropical cyclone Oswald, and the associated rainfall and flooding experienced in the region between 21 and 29 January 2013.
Works were undertaken across a mix of sites. One of the greatest challenges was maintaining safety compliance for crews that were set up on location for varying durations from one day to several days or weeks; or in contrast on multiple locations within any given day. CMC successfully managed the complexity of these logistics and ensured all compliance paperwork was in place before works began.
Works comprised road infrastructure repairs including road drainage reconstruction, floodway reconstruction, sealing, and road pavement reconstruction including both sealed and unsealed (stabilisation, regrade, re-sheeting, CTB dig out and replace). During the contract the client increased the scope to include additional work along nine floodways and a major slip repair.
