💧 Pegasus Water Treatment Plant – Sand Filter Replacement Underway 💪

This week our team kicked off the complex and carefully planned job of replacing the sand in the sand filter at Pegasus Water Treatment Plant.

With safety as a top priority, the crew relied on versatility, teamwork, and the right gear to get the job done. Our in-house Hydro Excavation unit handled the tough task of removing the old sand — sucking it up 8 metres vertically and then another 6 metres across to the hydro unit. 👷‍♂️

Another great example of planning, capability, and commitment in action!

Hanmer Springs Update 🚧

We're making great progress onsite and things are moving fast 🐰

Here is what's happening:

🚥Lot preparation for development - We're completing the finishing touches on multiple lots, ensuring they're ready for the next phase of construction.
🚥Shaping the stormwater basin - Proper drainage is key! We're carefully grading the stormwater basin to ensure water flow is optimised and to prevent future flooding issues.
🚥Importing gravel for a solid foundation - We're filling the lots with high-quality imported gravel to establish a stable base, ensuring the land is level and ready for building.

It's all about efficiency, precision and creating a solid foundation for future success 🔥

The team's hard work and attention to detail are setting the stage for something incredible. Stay tuned as we continue to lay the groundwork for the next big step!

🚧Progress Update from Raven Quay!🚧

Great news - work on Raven Quay is moving along smoothly.
