Key Projects

Principal: Balco Hay
Client: McMahon Services
Contract Type: Lump Sum Construct Only
Value: $0.6 million
Location: Balaklava, SA

In late January 2017, Balco Hay’s commercial hay processing plant was gutted by fire destroying hundreds of tonnes of hay and hampering future production.

After the remaining structure was demolished, production equipment urgently required two concrete slabs totalling 435m2 to operate on. Ballestrin completed this element in two days and then undertook further works with delivering approximately 400m3 of concrete works to support plant infrastructure.

Scope included placement and set-up of control joints, concrete placement, construction of a 60t weigh bridge measuring 22m by 6.5m and construction of a rail iron turning bay measuring 20m by 25m.

Principal: AGC AusGroup
Client: McMahon Services
Contract Type: Lump Sum Construct Only
Value: $3.7 million
Location: Melville Island, NT

Remote far north island project delivering all structural concrete works for a bulk fuel facility and associated 200-person camp using a mobile batching plant. Significant concrete works included the construction of three ring beams, pipe supports, 7,500m2 of bund structure with 3m high bund walls, and associated supporting concrete elements.

A total of 2,500m3 of concrete was placed requiring late-night pours to counter the region’s hot and humid daytime conditions, which would otherwise affect concrete curing.
