Role: Project and Construction Manager

PDM undertook the project and construction management on behalf of Australian Pavement Maintenance Systems for the 2008–2009 airfields maintenance works package at RAAF Base Edinburgh & RAAF Base Woomera in South Australia.

The project included a range of pavement works such as pavement rectification, pavement rejuvenation, concrete repairs and joint replacement works within an active military aviation environment.

Logistical challenges included sourcing pavement materials such as sand and aggregate from over 2000 kilometres away, as the local resources did not meet Department of Defence specifications.
