Gabion wall at the northern abutment of the Sea Cliff bridge. There is a gabion facing on each side of the bridge abutment. A high strength tensar geogrid connects each side at 0.5m gabion levels to create a reinforced earth wall. |

The gabion cascade at the Kemira Mine at Mt Keira Demonstrates our go anywhere capability. We make the impossible happen and we have been doing it consistently for years. Please find us a new challenge. |

These gabions, constructed by Collective Civil for John Holland at Kellyville in western Sydney are receiving the landscape treatment. The structure provides an effective energy dissapator to reduce the destructive erosion forces down stream. Notice the jute matt laid out in the foreground. After the water has flowed through the gabions a planted area is more suited to combat erosion . The jute matt will assist the plants to get established. Collective Civil can price the whole job for you. |

Welded Mesh Gabion: |
 |
|
 |
Collective Civil Pty Ltd constructed all of the gabions and rock mattress associated with the construction of the Minnamurra Bypass near Kiama on the NSW South Coast. We subcontracted to John Holland and the RTA. These three metre high gabions provide retention and rock fall protection and can be inspected as you travel the Sydney bound lane on the North side of the long bridge across the Minamurra River.
|
|
An example of this type installed by Collective Civil can be found at the park created on the old Caltex site at Balmain (Ballast Point). The welded mesh provides a more rigid uniform shape with a flat face.

REINFORCED EARTH RETAINING SYSTEMS
Simple put this involves compacting selected earth fill in layers sandwiched by reinforcement mesh grid to form a structural building platform to carry a roadway or building. The earth reinforcing can be made from many different shaped product such as steel straps, Galvanised steel rod, Tensar mesh, or gabion mesh. Collective Civil installs them all.

This 3m high gabion wall was constructed by Collective Civil to form a rock fall barrier for the RTA at Coal cliff. It is 3m high and has gabion mesh tail at each 1m level sandwiched in the backfill. |
|
This type of structure is quick to build. Collective Civil can design and construct this type of structure used mainly for Main road bridge abutments and road embankments. While it is a relatively simple structure to build the concrete panels can be decorated to various budgets and taste. The panels are fixed to the steel straps that are sandwiched in the select compacted earth fill. |

This is a welded mesh recycled rock face reinforced earth wall constructed by Collective Civil. The walls are used to construct an architectural tiered parkland and viewing point for the next Sydney Harbour Fireworks. We are particularly proud of this construction and very grateful for the opportunity to display the attention to detail that is typical of Collective Civil. |
Attention to detail |

We are particularly proud of the attention to detail and the high degree of accuracy maintained in line and level. Who would have thought that recycled concrete could have looked so good? The million dollar look was achieved on a shoe string budget. |
CONCRETE RETAINING WALLS

5m 900 diameter piers |
 |
|
 |
Collective Civil has a proven record of constructing concrete retaining walls for the RTA, Bovis Lend Lease and Daracon. We have in house and subcontract steel fixers, form workers and concretors. No job is too big or complicated. Concrete cast insitu walls are at the high end when comparing costs of types of retaining walls. There sometimes is no choice when there is limited room behind the wall to build the wall because of property boundaries.

Textured Block Wall
|
 |
|
 |
Core filled concrete block walls were constructed at Glendenning in western Sydney at the Gillespie heavy Crane depot. This type of wall can be fully designed to with stand the height of the retained fill and live loads expected behind the wall. Collective Civil construct the footing and built the wall with steel reinforcement and then core filled the hollow blocks with grout |
|
All the walls at Middelton Grange Hoxton Pk in Western Sydney were built by Collective Civil including these textured block wall. The walls are on the boundary line and allow level blocks of land to be sold at this landscaped subdivision. Other types of walls here are our rock walls and gabion walls. It is easy to inspect and choose the type of wall that suits your need or architectural tastes. |
