Subdivision

Navigation Heights Whitby

Project Overview: The Navigation Heights subdivision was split into 3 stages. The earthworks consisted of over 325,000 m3. This was in typical Whitby clay material, many types of clays with variable (high) moisture contents. Highly weathered greywacke in the largest cut. We performed the necessary surveys and also had GPS machine control on excavators, bulldozers, compactors, graders. Very environmentally sensitive site with tributaries running to Pauatahanui Inlet. Protected flora & fauna on site. Very close proximity to residence. Interaction with Transmission Gully (adjacent site).
