CIC Civil delivered comprehensive stormwater drainage systems for a major regional highway project in South Australia, managing complex installations within live traffic corridors. Our scope included complete stormwater infrastructure installation with bulk earthworks, culvert installation, and stormwater drainage connections throughout the highway corridor. Working alongside Tier 1 contractors, we implemented sophisticated traffic management and staged construction works to maintain highway operations while completing critical drainage upgrades.
The project resulted in significantly improved ride quality and drainage performance across the entire section, with positive client feedback highlighting our responsiveness, quality workmanship and seamless integration with their project team.
The regional highway stormwater project required installing comprehensive drainage systems within a live traffic corridor, presenting significant safety and logistical challenges. Coordinating civil works alongside ongoing highway operations demanded sophisticated traffic management to protect workers and motorists while minimising disruption to regional connectivity. Our team needed to execute bulk earthworks, culvert installations and drainage connections across multiple highway sections within tight project timelines. The project required careful staging to maintain continuous traffic flow, coordination with multiple stakeholders, and flexibility to adapt to changing site conditions while meeting strict engineering specifications for drainage performance and ensuring long-term infrastructure reliability.
We developed a comprehensive staged construction methodology that allowed continuous highway operations while completing critical drainage works. Our team implemented robust traffic management systems including lane closures, diversions and safety protocols to protect both workers and travelling public. We mobilised specialised equipment for bulk earthworks, culvert installation and drainage connections, deploying experienced operators familiar with working in live traffic environments. Through detailed coordination with the lead contractor and relevant authorities, we scheduled works to minimise traffic disruption while maintaining productivity. Our quality-focused approach included rigorous testing of all drainage installations to ensure compliance with engineering specifications and optimal long-term performance.
CIC Civil successfully completed the stormwater installation delivering improved drainage performance and ride quality across the entire highway section. Our staged construction approach maintained highway operations throughout the project, minimising regional connectivity impacts while completing complex civil works. The comprehensive drainage systems we installed now effectively manage stormwater runoff, protecting the highway infrastructure and extending its operational lifespan. Client feedback specifically commended our responsiveness to evolving site conditions, quality workmanship that exceeded specifications, and professional integration with their project team. This project showcased our capability to execute complex civil infrastructure works in challenging live traffic environments while maintaining safety, quality and operational flexibility.
