Project
Solution
Installed soil nails, anchored mesh, and a reinforced shotcrete wall to stabilise the slope
Used scaffold-mounted and excavator-mounted rigs alongside wagon drills for drilling in tight spaces
Built scaffold platforms to support upper-level shotcreting
Partnered with ENGEO and WCC to safely manage asbestos removal and monitoring
Project
Challenges
Extremely limited space for equipment staging and traffic management
Active road directly below the work zone required controlled traffic flow
Unexpected asbestos contamination demanded specialist handling
Project
Overview
Lennel Road in Wellington required slope stabilisation to protect both an active roadway below and residential properties above. Wellington City Council engaged Geovert to design and install an anchored mesh system combined with a shotcrete wall. The works were complicated by asbestos contamination and the site’s confined urban location.
