Major Earthworks & Access Roads to Breaching Range
This project was the first of its kind for Antoun and opened many new opportunities with Defence Clients carrying out high-risk and complicated works. The project took place on 12,000m2 of the main artillery testing ground for explosive trials, creating a high risk of live explosives within the site. Prior to any excavation or construction, we were required to complete the clearance of Unexploded Ordnance (UXO).
