Pearl St - Northcote Project

Rock Hard Drilling for Childcare Car Park

This project in Northcote was rocky from the start. Floaters of basalt throughout made for difficult drilling. Aldig completed the piling with a rock breaker, capping beam and shotcrete walls at this job. No challenge is too difficult for Aldig.
