MHPS was a challenging project on a tight site with limited set-down space. Due to site restrictions, works were carefully constructed commencing at the rear of the site, working towards the entrance, and undertaken during school hours.
The biggest challenge was the granite boulders given their weight and the limited site access. Using a 4T excavator stones were rolled from the set down area to the creek, with holes measured and pre-dug to ensure stones were correctly positioned on the first attempt.
