Description

This project encompassed the demolition and reconstruction of two structurally compromised bridges, the Lizard and Unnamed Bridges, for Singleton Council. MAK was proud to support Singleton Council in delivering these essential infrastructure upgrades, ensuring safer travel and improved access for the local community while enhancing the long-term durability and resilience of the region’s transportation network.

Throughout the project, MAK had assessed and prioritised environmental and safety compliance, adhering to all relevant regulations, Singleton Council’s specifications, and strict Health, Safety, Environment, and Quality (HSEQ) protocols to safeguard workers and the local community. Maintaining local access to residential premises via construction of temporary roads for the duration of the works.
