Project Details
Alder Constructions were contracted to complete the bulk earthworks, reinforced block and rock retaining walls, preparation of building pads, civil services, pavement construction for car parks, concrete driveways and footpaths, irrigation and turfing of the sporting oval and running track for the new McAuley College School at Beaudesert.
Major bulk earthworks of over 60,000m3 cut to fill was required, and an additional 25,000m3 of imported material to provide for the new levels required. GPS controlled machinery was used in order to increase works productivity and to achieve the tolerances required to the building pads and oval.
The topsoil for the new oval was treated, that included a major screening and mixing operation to provide a suitable topsoil layer to the oval, and included the establishment of over 17,000m2 of turfing that was laid utilising maxi rolls to reduce jointing.
A major carpark was also constructed with asphalt pavements, and a number of concrete driveways and footpaths were also constructed to link the various school amenities.
