Project Description:
Construction Sciences proudly delivered Construction Materials Testing on the Department of Transport and Main Roads’ Mackay Ring Road Stage 1 project, ensuring all materials met the required quality and durability standards.
Testing was conducted from our Mackay laboratory, playing a key role in the long-term performance of this major infrastructure upgrade, that transformed the road network connectivity in the region.
Over a million cubic metres of earthworks were undertaken to construct the 11.3km ring road between Stockroute Road roundabout south of Mackay through to the Bruce Highway near Bald Hill Road in Glenella, and nearly half a million tonnes of gravel was used.
Our Role:
Construction Sciences was awarded Construction Materials Testing and Geotechnical Instrument Monitoring for the Mackay Ring Road project. Over a two-year period, our team provided comprehensive testing from our Mackay laboratory, ensuring the structural integrity and quality of the construction.
A dedicated team of up to six technicians supported the project, helping to achieve the high standards required for this significant infrastructure development.
