Earthworks in Mawson Lakes.
Mawson Lakes was built from the late 1990s as a master-planned suburb on low-lying land near Dry Creek, with lakes and wetlands as part of its stormwater system. Ground conditions and drainage are the two things to understand before any civil work starts.
The ground and the work in Mawson Lakes
Low-lying ground can mean wet or saline subsoils and a shallow water table in places. Pad preparation, sub-base and any excavation are planned around the geotechnical information for the lot, and the method is set before the machine arrives.
Much of the suburb is community-titled, so work affecting common property or shared drainage goes through the community corporation. Tell us who manages the scheme and we'll make sure the approval is in place before the work is booked.
