The Slick Civil Team has been busy
Here is a look at some of the recent projects our team has been involved with.
Napier Kindergarten
Our team rose to the call for help when the Napier Kindergarten made a call to Slick Civil to help excavate out the playground to replace the bark which had seen better days. This was an opportunity for the Slick Civil team to give back to the community and make sure our Tamariki have a safe landing.
Ōmaranui Landfill
Our team was subcontracted under Fulton Hogan to assist in the development of stage 3A of the Ōmaranui Landfill, which focused on advancing the development of cell D. Slick Civil’s role in this project was to complete, the initial bulk earthworks, clay liner installation, installation of a leachate collection system, GPS subgrade trimming and perimeter bund construction.
HBRC Walker Road
Slick Civil recently completed a 216,000m³ extraction for the Hawke’s Bay Regional Council on the Tukituki River at Walker Road. This project was completed over 4 working months and saw us moving on average 2,500m³ per day. To complete this extraction Slick Civil used two Cat 336 excavators, and eight 40-ton dump trucks. The extracted metal was carted over 10km before being stockpiled. Thorough planning and strategic use of plant made this project a success.
Puketapu Stop Bank
Slick Civil was contracted to rebuild and restore an 800m section of stop bank along the Tutaekuri River that was damaged by Cyclone Gabrielle. During this project we unearthed a series of midden pits, which required consultation with local iwi and archaeologists. After extensive investigations were undertaken, we worked alongside the archaeologists to construct the stop bank whilst working to preserve these artifacts as best as possible.
Awesome to be a part of a significant piece of Māori history in Hawke’s Bay.
Brookfield’s Clay – Silt Extraction
Slick Civil was contracted to Omarunui Landfill to extract 40,000 m3 of Clay – Silt from the river berm on the Tutaekuri River and transport this to Omaranui Landfill 10Km away. The Clay – Silt required for the landfill is used for the final capping of the rubbish so is required to have limited permeability, this making the task of extracting the correct materials that met this high specification a good test for Slick Civils operators.
