RAIL SIDING CIVIL WORKS
Bulk earthworks in KiwiRail land.
Rail siding base-course prepared.
Stormwater line and drainage installed. SW Culvert installed

RAIL PEDESTRIAN TACKS
KwwiRail instaleed the railway line itself in May, and GHC begun work to construct a pedestrian track between the old and new railways lines.

NOISE BUND
We also built a large earthworks bund alongside the track to provide noise and environmental protection for neighbouring road.
