Site Preparation & Early Works Contracting:

An early works contracting arrangement, particularly for large-scale multi-stage development projects, can have significant advantages. Engaging an enabling works contractor not only allows for efficient staging of a development project but also likely results in substantial cost savings and improvements to programming.

Specialist pre-construction expertise, including utilities investigation, demolition, contaminated land remediation, site preparation, and civil works, can provide certainty of delivery, add value through innovation, and minimize risk.

Early works contracting can be a highly effective strategy for maximizing the benefits of a development site. By engaging Ferrycarrig to complete critical early-stage tasks before the main construction work begins, developers can reduce risk, increase efficiency, and enhance the overall quality of the project.

One of the most significant benefits of early works contracting is risk reduction. Engaging contractors to complete site preparation, foundation work, and other critical tasks before the main construction work begins can help identify potential issues and address them before they become significant problems. This can help reduce delays, unexpected costs, and other risks that can derail a project.

In addition, early works contracting can help increase efficiency by allowing construction to begin more quickly. By completing critical tasks in advance, the construction process can start earlier, ensuring the project is completed on time and within budget, critical for maximizing returns on investment.

Vacuum Excavation & Potholing
Non Destructive Excavation is ideal for eliminating the risk of damage to existing underground utilities and services, and potential harm to the environment.
Utility asset strikes are a major concern for the Australian civil construction industry. Vac trucks improve the efficiency of service installation, prevent utility asset strikes, save millions of dollars in damaged infrastructure and provide a safer work site for the contractors using them.

Underground Service Locating & Surveying
The location of underground assets is vital for a project to ensure either the design, construction, or maintenance of a site can be carried out safely From a single point of contact, Ferrycarrig will plan and execute the Utility Detection, Survey, Vacuum Excavation, and CAD Modelling without being subject to either immediate or subsequent damage to utilities.

Using electromagnetic induction and ground penetrating radar, our experienced technicians will pinpoint and trace utilities. Comprehensive utility service locating and mapping can be then provided and our vacuum excavation trucks where necessary can provide additional exploratory potholing to ensure you our clients can get a complete picture of the subsurface landscape.

Our team offers the full reach of the survey portfolio. We can deliver Comprehensive Utility Deliverables in 12d/DWG CAD models, Field reports including Pothole/Trench, Pit cards.

CCTV Inspection
Ferrycarrig uses CCTV technologies to inspect pipeline networks, stormwater drains, and gravity sewer networks, to assess their condition and ensure long-term performance.

We supply condition assessment reports which allow our clients to implement the most appropriate maintenance and rehabilitation strategies. Our highly skilled team can perform effective cleaning of all types of pipeline networks.
