Project: Brickpit Playground

Having successfully delivered our first project with Hornsby Shire Council, they entrusted us with this major project which exceeds 4000m2 of area to be developed. The existing land was capped with clay and hence the site was very sensitive to any form of excavation and strict adhere to the design levels were an absolute must. Upon commencement of the project, we encountered soft fill which had to be removed and reinstated with imported fill material to make further works possible. Also, we were asked to construct a new Ninja warrior play ground adjacent to the project. Irrespective of all these changes and additions, Civilscape was able to get the project within the initial agreed time. We expect the project to be a great boon to the Thornleigh community for the next few decades.
