We are proud to have delivered this project on time, on budget and most importantly, with a happy client.
Gary, Adam and the team from RiverAUS were engaged to construct a 3000x1800 RCBC culvert in Townsville which was deemed a high priority project due to the existing culvert collapsing and causing flooding to surrounding residents. The project lead time was little yet RiverAUS were able to visit the site, successfully tender and mobilise to site within 2 months and successfully deliver a complicated project with surrounding high risk infrastructure and services in the area. This showed QR that they have a high level of capability and understanding of these kind of works and can be flexible and work with the client to achieve the goals set out by the project and asset management teams.

Drainage Structure
Herrenknecht Tunnelling Systems
We engaged River Aus Constructions to complete the detailed excavation and construction of two reinforced concrete cradles to sit the 670T TBM shields that will drill new tunnels for the Cross River Rail in Brisbane. The RiverAus team was highly cooperative and a pleasure to work with throughout the whole project. The team members from River Aus worked hard to achieve results on a tight deadline and was also able to be flexible enough to overcome a few unexpected challenges along the way. The hard work was much appreciated and the end result was a durable high quality product.
