After building a great relationship with Decmil Australia a few years ago on the Yandin Wind Farm project, Vernice were awarded the opportunity to work with Decmil again to upgrade the logistics road that links the Great Eastern Highway to Covalent's Mount Holland site.

A total 113km of road was to be constructed and sealed. Mobilisation of a number of our fleet commenced in October 2023 and our team have been working hard with other contractors and Decmil in getting this large stretch of road up to scratch and ready for sealing.

Machinery on site include;

• 2 X Graders with GPS, Base Station and LPS
• 1 X Semi Watercart
• 1 X 6 Wheeler Watercart
• 3 X Rollers (Dry Hire)
• 1 X Front End Loader
• 1 X 375 Dozer

This project has provided the opportunity for our employees to upskill. One example, Olivia Ferguson perfecting the Front End Loader and loading road trains all day. Our team and Decmil were extremely happy with her skill, ability, attitude and attention to detail, all whilst being efficient and keeping up with the growing demands of gravel supply.

Alongside constructing a road, there were a number of cuts that were required, that is where the large dozer came into play. Ripping and pushing out large hills to ensure the road design was met.

Vernice thanks all employees involved in the project and appreciate the hard work and difficulty in living away from home.

Vernice would also like to take this opportunity to thank Decmil for another great project. There is a little bit more to go, however, we can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
