Our Management
Detailed planning, careful consultation with the client, local residents, and methodical staged works were keys to CivilTeam’s successful project delivery.
A portion of the works were carried out at night to assist with traffic management.
CivilTeam delivered a high quality project on time and before the start of the north QLD wet season—a critical factor for the success of this project.
Value Adding
CivilTeam suggested a pile design change from CFA to Kelly pile, which enabled the work to progress faster and be completed before the wet season. The entire piling was completed within 3 weeks.
