Pacific Highway Upgrade, Woolgoolga to Ballina – Section 5 Earthworks

Project Details

The Section 5 earthworks stage of the upgrade included the construction of the northbound and southbound carriageways as well as interchange ramps and local roads, north of the Harwood Bridge.

• Completion of around 50,000 cubic metres of earthworks across both carriageways and local roads and interchange ramps.
• Placement of 40,000 cubic metres of select and verge materials
• Removal of surcharge materials at the appropriate point through liaison with the project client and neighbouring contractors.
• Significant liaison with neighbouring contractors to ensuring works could be managed collaboratively and efficiently
• Facilitating the switching of traffic onto the completed Hardwood Bridge, a major milestone for the overall Section 5 works
• Removal of redundant pavements once traffic changes have been made

Correct planning of the earthwork by surveyors maximised the quality of the project.
