Project Value

$ 2.1m

Construction of stormwater pipes and pits in an urban estate. The Balmain Estate development consisted of multiple stages that will drain into a large outfall.

key challenges

The terrain of this project was majority hard rock, causing excessive hammering with the excavators. Being a large job with lots of contractors hammering rock meant the pipelaying staging and lines ready to be laid was compartmentalised needing experienced pipelayers to ensure levels were perfect.

key innovations

To prevent stopping any works, the Jaydo crew worked alongside the client to best utilise the truck movements in and out of site. 

value for money

Pre-trenching long lines with an additional operator saved time and money with crew costs.
