North Region team crushes project
At Winslow, we challenge ourselves to thrive by seeking to improve and find a better way to operate.
Winslow Constructors’ North Region team in Melbourne overcame a 75,000 cubic metre rock knoll to successfully complete work on the Arramont Estate in Wollert six weeks ahead of schedule.
The team started work on the project in July 2023 to break the knoll that reached a depth of 6m at its core and required many machines working alongside each other to break the rock and cart it away for crushing.
Winslow has worked on stages 15,16 and 20 (inclusive of 167 lots) of the estate, covering 10ha, for client Evolve Development.
The rock generated from site was processed through Ecosphere’s crushing facility nearby and re-purposed for on-site drainage, concrete footpath, and crossover construction.
“It was an immense logistical earthwork task of strategically placing many sizeable machinery as large as 70 tonne working in tandem to extract, downsize, load and cart away rock,” said Project Manager Dorian Sinopoli.
“With about 3km of drainage, 8800m2 of concrete footpath and crossovers, and 4.5km of kerb and channel, this is an exemplary demonstration of the successful planning, strategising and teamwork carried out by our skilled personnel.
“The original project delivery date was December 2024 and the project was delivered in October – six weeks ahead of schedule in challenging conditions – and definitely a tribute to the Arramont team’s hard work and commitment.”
