Soil testing, Marchbanks Road bridge, Broadford, March 2024
Specialist contractors will conduct soil testing in various locations to inform the design of the Marchbanks Road bridge replacement in Broadford. Testing will occur in both the rail corridor and on the road reserves on High Street, Marchbanks Road and the Hume Freeway on-ramp.
Work being done
Depending on the depth required and access to the site either a small mobile drill rig or a two-person crew with hand augers will be used to bore small holes in the ground and collect samples.
Residents and motorists are asked to take care and observe all traffic management instructions and signage.
What can I expect?
- Traffic management and signage around work sites located in the road reserve
- Mobile machinery and equipment operating onsite
- Reduced road speeds near the works in the road reserve
- Nearby residents can expect some minor bore hole drilling noise during daylight hours
- The drilling process will create small holes in the ground which will be filled in at the completion of the works.
Machinery used
Small drill rig or hand auger, support vehicles including a truck, traffic management equipment and signage.
How we’re managing impacts
- works will occur in daylight hours
- traffic management will be in place to ensure safe access for all road users.
