S-Pit Infrastructure Development Project

Nationwide Civil were engaged by Wesfarmers to construct the S-Pit Infrastructure Development Project. Construction consisted of clearing and grubbing to site and excavation of unsuitable material removal, subsequent fill in varying materials formed the road works. Further to this a large Concrete Overpass Structure was required to carry the haul road for 700t mining trucks. It involved working over a live mechanical conveyor and adjacent to an existing structure. Nationwide Civil achieved this without any disruption to the Clients mine operations.
