Upgrade Works to Three Aerodromes, NT

This project comprised the upgrade of a further three of the remote aerodromes servicing indigenous communities, as part of the Australian Government’s upgrade program undertaken at this time.
These aerodromes were located in outback areas of the Northern Territory.

Challenges
- Remote locations with difficult access
- Indigenous Relations
- Working on a live aerodrome - open to live traffic at all times
Our Management
As with all the remote aerodrome upgrade works undertaken by CivilTeam, maintaining excellent stakeholder relations were priority. This included up-to-date and culturally sensitive communications with the client, indigenous communities, and all affected by the works.
Also vitally important was programming the works in such a way that at any time the work crew could have the airstrip available within 10 minutes for incoming aircraft to land.
Value Add
Our consistently high quality outcomes and level of professionalism have yet again meant CivilTeam were the company of choice for these critical and sensitive works.
