Keys Challenges and Solutions
This project required a strategic TGS to ensure minimal disruption was caused to the traffic entering and leaving the Airport. Working with the Client and Traffic Services, HEH Civil have implemented a successful TGS to allow HEH Civil’s vehicles and haulage trucks to gain entry to and exit the site with as little disruption to the public as possible.
Achievements
This project has shown growth for HEH Civil by expanding our business and working with a new client, Cairns Airport. This project has allowed HEH Civil to successfully establish a new partnership and experience with a client from a different industry, paving the way for new avenues of work and partnerships for HEH Civil to undertake in future.
