    Gunlom Falls Road Reconstruction and Re-Sheet

    Project Profile Gunlom Falls Road Reconstruction and Re-sheet Client Australian Government – Director of National Parks Location Gunlom Falls – Kakadu National Park, Northern Territory Duration November 2014 – May 2015 Contract Road reconstruction and re-sheet Cost $1.7 million Project Overview Following on from the successful delivery of the Jim Jim Falls and Twin Falls 4WD access track upgrade projects, Intract Australia in partnership with McMahon Services were engaged to complete this project at Gunlom Falls. Gunlom is located on Waterfall Creek in the World Heritage listed Kakadu National Park, and also located within the Alligator Rivers Region of the NorthernTerritory. The project involved the road reconstruction and re-sheet of approximately ten kilometres of gravel road to improve road access for tourism leading into the Kakadu National Park, which covers an area of 19,804 kilometers. The project scope was as follows: Clean-out and reform existing cut off drains; Clean-out and reform existing floodway inlets and outlets; Supply and deliver 18,200 tonne of imported fill and road base gravel from Shoal Bay Quarry, Darwin (350km away) to mix and stockpile at the nominated area; Haul, install and compact fill material to wash out areas and to re-establish original road sub-grade level; Haul, install and compact gravel road base to complete. Gunlom Falls Road Reconstruction and Re-sheet | Page 1 This project was undertaken around the wet season, which saw pre-planning of deliveries split between the dry season and post wet season to minimise works during tourist peak periods. The Kakadu National Park has restricted access during the wet season, as well as strict environmental working conditions around the flora and fauna and native wildlife that needed to be adhered too.
