Out-of-hours site investigations, Illabo to Stockinbingal 3 – 4 May 2025

Work being done

The site investigations are required to provide essential information to assist with planning. Inland Rail’s contractor, John Holland, will undertake work as part of these investigations including survey, utility and geotechnical (excavation and drilling) investigations.

Activities will include:

• Surveying the track and property boundaries including operation of drones
• Underground and overhead utility locating and mapping using non-destructive digging (NDD)
• Geotechnical investigation works including drilling and soil sampling
• Environmental investigations through inspection and monitoring activities
• Establishment of temporary site facilities to support works

What can I expect?

• Vehicles entering and exiting the temporary site facilities between 6am and 7pm throughout the track possession with works to occur between 7am and 6pm
• Heavy vehicle movements, earth-moving activities and on-track works
• Traffic management may be required in some locations during possession hours. Please observe all traffic management instructions and signage.
• Nearby residents may hear some noise during these works and can expect some additional construction workers and vehicles in the area.

Machinery used

Excavators, drill rigs, small truck mounted drill rig, NDD truck, water carts and support vehicles. Workers may be using hand tools and survey equipment including operation of drones, traffic management equipment and signage.
