Honeywood Estate Retaining Wall Construction

Leeuwin Civil were selected to construct Stages 1 and 2 of works to construct retaining walls at Honeywood Estate in Wandi.

Stage One works involved the initial earthworks and survey set out, followed by the supply and haulage of 6,000 tonne of ironstone rock to a 6-metre-high wall consisting of 2,500 m2 of rock. Stage 2 involved approximately 3,000 tonne of rock to construct a 7-metre-high wall.

The project required a high degree of skill from the operators to ensure the angle of repose of the wall was to specified requirements. More than half a kilometre of wall was constructed in total.
