North Star to NSW/QLD Border general site investigations
From late January to May 2023, our contractor Laing O’Rourke and its specialist subcontractors will conduct detailed site investigations including survey, borrow pit, geotechnical, and utility services investigations within the existing rail corridor from just north of the North Star grain silos to Whalan Creek.
What can I expect?
- Changed traffic conditions and reduced speed limits where work is near public roads
- Site supervision vehicles, mobile machinery, drill rigs and equipment operating onsite or accessing work sites
- Nearby residents may experience some noise during daylight hours
- At locations where activities such as drilling and test excavations will disturb the ground surface, bore holes and test pits will be backfilled at the completion of work or at the end of each shift.
Machinery used
- Small drill rigs,
- non-destructive digging machinery,
- support vehicles,
- traffic management equipment and
- signage.
How we’re managing impacts
- Traffic management will be in place to ensure safe access for all road users
- Reduced road speeds in the vicinity work areas
- Regular contact with impacted landowners to discuss site activity and any land access requirements
- Use of mobile drilling and investigation equipment to ensure minimal disruption to farming operations and road and property access
- Regular monthly work notifications.
