Projects

Two jobs thatsay most of it.

Both a long way from town, both in ground that had already beaten the weather once.

Useless Loop, Shark Bay

Closing the Seroja breaches at Useless Loop

Over the last ten years THEM has undertaken several projects for Shark Bay Resources at Useless Loop, including demolishing and replacing the flume that supplies the salt ponds with water.

Cyclone Seroja struck the Mid West and Gascoyne hard in 2021. At Useless Loop it opened several breaches between the salt ponds and the open ocean, the largest more than 30 metres across. THEM took on the task of closing them.

Client: Shark Bay Resources
Location: Useless Loop, Shark Bay

Carnarvon–Mullewa Road, Murchison

Ballinyoo Bridge demolition and Murchison flood damage roads

The old Ballinyoo Bridge crossed the Murchison River on the Carnarvon–Mullewa Road. It was the oldest concrete bridge in Western Australia when it was replaced, and a section of it can still be found beside the road today.

THEM demolished the old bridge and delivered the flood damage road works around the crossing, which meant developing gravel pits, resheeting, concrete stabilising and grading. As THEM put it, they are proud to be a part of this piece of the state’s history.

The new bridge was delivered under a separate Main Roads contract. THEM’s package was the demolition of the old crossing and the flood damage roads around it.

Road: Carnarvon–Mullewa Road
Scope: Bridge demolition and flood damage roads

More work

Ten years of jobs that never got written up.

Gravel pits, resheeting, dam builds, mine site earthworks and haulage right across the Mid West, Murchison and Gascoyne. Most of it is on roads a long way from a photographer. If you want references for work like yours, ask and we will put you on to the people who signed it off.
