<strong>First Site Visit</strong><br />Site Visit & Inspection to ensure areas for construction and clearing were suitable for the project. When the site was deemed suitable, a fresh water bore was drilled due to the remoteness of the site.<br>

<strong>Second Site Visit</strong><br />2nd Site Visit - Logistics Management which included the organisation of transport of required materials to the site and securing the site with an electric fence.  The site was also surveyed to Telstra design.<br><br>

<strong>Concrete Pour</strong><br />There were 730 Cubic metres of concrete poured on site. All the concrete had to be batched on site using bore water, over 160 thousand litres was used excluding wash down water, CCR used only ISO 9001 accredited contractors to assist in the batching and testing of the concrete.

<strong>Earthing and Concrete tidy up </strong><br />Once the site was backfilled and all concrete was poured, CCR ensure all steel work exiting concrete is hydro-sealed. All trafficable areas in compound are weed matted with aggregate placed on top, with all fencing posts installed.<br><br>
