Earthworks in Prospect.
Prospect has been one of the busier inner-north suburbs for subdivision: one older house replaced by two or three dwellings, often with a battle-axe or shared driveway behind. That pattern brings a predictable set of civil tasks, and most of them are about water and access.
The ground and the work in Prospect
Splitting a block usually means new stormwater, sometimes with on-site detention so the new dwellings don't send more water to the street than the old house did. Tanks, pits and pipe runs are built to the approved stormwater plan and checked for fall before they are buried.
Battle-axe handles and shared driveways need a sub-base that will hold up under construction traffic and then under the finished surface. Pavement depths and compaction follow the engineer's specification, and test results go to the builder with the completion documents.
