Project description

Rebuilding the shoulders of Dowerin Koorda Road as it is becoming unsafe to pass heavy vehicles.

The scope of works for shoulder rehabilitation involves using a grader to box out the shoulder of the sealed road to a 100 mm depth with a crossfall of 3%, ensuring a consistent 1.5 m width. Loose material and debris will be removed from the boxed area. The excavated shoulder will then be conditioned and compacted to create a stable base. Gravel will be preconditioned in the pit by evenly moistening it for optimal compaction, then loaded and transported to the site. The preconditioned gravel will be tipped into the prepared boxed area and spread evenly to maintain the 1.5 m width. The spread gravel will be thoroughly compacted to achieve the desired density and stability, then trimmed. Finally, the edges will be swept to ensure a clean, finished appearance.

Total cost of proposed project is $125,140
