The project required a permanent lateral support system to stabilise approximately 675m2 of weathered rock face and fill material.

This was achieved by installing over 180 anchors, drilled to various depths in the rock, 90 gabion anchors and approx. 670m2 of welded mesh reinforced shotcrete and geocomposite band drains.
