Drainage Culvert Upgrade At Mortdale
Dairy Creek in Cromdale Street, Mortdale, experienced the detrimental effects of flooding. Antoun was commissioned to construct an additional draining culvert with embankment stabilisation, and road restoration works. The drainage upgrade aimed to reduce flooding in residential properties bordering the creek by increasing water discharge.
