Working on a highway upgrade on behalf of Main Roads WA, Garli needed a fleet of heavy-duty equipment for successful compaction. Conplant got the call-up and delivered.
We came onboard with Garli back in January 2023, with the first rollers arriving onsite in March. The Bindoon North site is located 84 km (1.5 hours) north of Perth. All equipment was floated to site, with a peak usage of 10 rollers at one time.
Bindoon North – Stage 3
| 210,000m3 earthworks compacted | 230,000m2 pavement area rolled | 6.4km of highway upgraded |
Project dates: March 2023 – May 2024
The Project
Bindoon North is a highway upgrade project, with the objective to widen and realign a section of the Great Northern Highway in Western Australia. The project involved a combination of off-road works and online upgrades to be carried out under traffic management.
As a road building project, this phase included standard compaction solutions for earthworks and highway construction. The earthworks kicked off primarily with the use of Smooth Drum and Padfoot vibrating single drum rollers, followed by Multi Tyred rollers to provide the finishing touches.
With the main challenge being the relatively remote location – as well as work in progress 7 days a week – Conplant ensured there were always servicing staff on call. This would either be Conplant’s own in-house teams or local contractors who were based closer to the site for quicker response time.
