Sarah steps up to lead landscape project
At Native Space, we are dedicated to providing learning and leadership opportunities to all staff.
Site Engineer recently stepped up to lead a landscape refurbishment project at Portlink Estate, Altona in Melbourne’s southwest.
The client wanted to bulk out the trees and planting, but the centrepiece of the project was the inclusion of three 2.5 tonne palm trees that needed a crane to lift each off the delivery truck and over a fence to be planted.
“I was fortunate to have the opportunity to take the original landscape drawings and client’s requests to design a job that would be delivered safely and under budget,” Sarah said.
The estate is well established and located adjacent to busy Kororoit Creek Rd, which required constant traffic management.
“We had to engage daily traffic management and also extensive service proving for every single tree location,” Sarah said.
Our team had to work inside private lots, with one property occupied by a logistics company that had trucks and trailers moving through every couple of minutes 24/7.
