Outcomes

BMD Urban completed the project on budget and on schedule. Delays were experienced early in the project due to unknown existing services being found. The project team introduced night shifts and weekend works to accelerate the program and make up the time lost. Despite these delays, the project was handed over in time for the City of Palmerston’s Christmas tree lighting ceremony.

In order to reduce impacts to adjacent businesses and buildings, a road profiler was used to demolish the majority of the original concrete surfaces to minimise noise and vibrations. Water carts were also used for dust suppression.
