Work Performed
The main challenge was construction of the vertically draining base. Our design has strength/durability and the required vertical drainage properties. Key to success was careful attention to the placement of material layers and compaction rates.

Auckland Civil co-ordinated all aspects of construction and subcontract activity to achieve a high quality result which more than satisfied client and architect.
