Illabo Site Establishment 2025
Inland Rail contractor, Martinus Rail plans to undertake site establishment and construction works at Illabo. Site Establishment will begin from Wednesday the 8th of January 2025, with construction works to follow. Regular notifications advising of key work dates and construction updates will be provided to our neighbours.
Work being done
- Cadastral Surveys
- Establishment of our construction zones and laydown areas
- Slashing with a tractor
- Geotechnical investigations
What can I expect?
- Slashing completed with a tractor
- Some of these works will be noisy. You may hear truck engines and engine noise from machines.
- Use of non-tonal reversing alarms on all equipment and turning off equipment when not in use.
- Instructing workers to keep noise to a minimum and being respectful of our neighbours.
Machinery used
Equipment used for work includes but is not limited to hand tools, Franna crane, light vehicles, slasher tractor, compact track loader, medium rigid trucks and star picket drivers.
Vehicle movements
During the works, vehicle movements will be to and from each site as well as on site to facilitate earthworks.
Both sites will also be accepting deliveries during site establishment.
Traffic controllers will be available to direct traffic to and from site where needed.
How we're managing impacts
- Traffic controls will be in place, where required.
- Water carts will be on-site to wet down areas to assist in managing dust.
- Works programmed to best minimise noise impacts. We will aim to minimise noise from the works.
- Unfortunately, some construction activities are inherently noisy which cannot be avoided. Properties near the construction site can expect to hear:
- excavation (activity involving the removal of existing surfaces such as rock, soil, pavement, and other substances
- movements of medium vehicles
- loading, unloading or moving equipment and construction materials
- Works will be monitored to ensure compliance with Project Approval Conditions.
