Berkeley Cut Slope Stability Works
Description
This project required remediation work on the batters along the Berkeley Cut section of the F6 Freeway, south of Wollongong, NSW. The works included the installation of a rock fall mesh and anchoring system on the rock cutting face, often conducted at a 90 degree angle up to 50m above this major 6 lane freeway.
The project involved the preparation of detailed plans to manage all contract specifications, especially high volume traffic management and safety controls.

Our Management
Organising site access and preparation required establishing a good working relationship with the client and project stakeholders. Our ongoing consultation with nearby residents on project progress assisted in planning significant road closures. CivilTeam arranged critical stages of the project to be completed at night to keep road closures on the F6 Freeway to a minimum.
Value Adding
CivilTeam demonstrated the ability to complete stabilisation works on a major traffic route to the highest standard of quality, safety and environmental controls, on time and within budget.
