Benalla soil testing, Feb-March 2024
Inland Rail will conduct soil testing in various locations to inform the design of the Benalla Station Precinct. Testing will occur in both the rail corridor and on the road reserves.
What is happenning?
Inland Rail is a nation building project that will transform how goods are moved around Australia, generating opportunities for our regions and our economy, now and into the future.
Specialist contractors will conduct soil testing in various locations to inform the design of the Benalla Station Precinct. Testing will occur in both the rail corridor and on the road reserves.
Investigations will occur between 7am-6pm Monday to Friday during February and March 2024. Works can sometimes be cancelled at short notice depending on weather and other factors. Should this occur, works will be rescheduled.
Depending on the depth required and access to the site either a small mobile drill rig or a two-person crew with hand augers will be used to bore small holes in the ground and collect samples.
Residents and motorists are asked to take care and observe all traffic management instructions and signage.
What can I expect?
- Traffic management and signage around work sites located in the road reserve
- Mobile machinery and equipment operating onsite
- Reduced road speeds near the works in the road reserve
- Nearby residents can expect some minor bore hole drilling noise during daylight hours
- The drilling process will create small holes in the ground which will be filled in at the completion of the works.
Machinery used
Small drill rig or hand auger, support vehicles including a truck, traffic management equipment and signage.
How we’re managing impacts
- Works will occur in daylight hours
- Traffic management will be in place to ensure safe access for all road users.
