Winslow Constructors’ North Region team in Melbourne overcame a 75,000 cubic metre rock knoll to successfully complete a stage of the Arramont Estate in Wollert six weeks ahead of schedule.
The team started work on the project in July 2023 to break the knoll that reached a depth of 6m at its core and required many machines working alongside each other to break the rock and cart it away for crushing.
The rock generated from site was processed through our onsite crushing facility and re-purposed for Arramont’s drainage, concrete footpath, and crossover construction.
It was an immense logistical earthwork task of strategically placing many sizeable machines, some as large as 70 tonnes, working in tandem to extract, downsize, load and cart away rock.
With about 3km of drainage, 8800m2 of concrete footpath and crossovers, and 4.5km of kerb and channel, this was an exemplary demonstration of the successful planning, strategising and teamwork carried out by our skilled personnel, and a tribute to our team’s hard work and commitment.
