From “Pre-use to Re-use” – sustainability in action on the M12 Early Works Project

Let’s talk… turtles. Sustainability encompasses a lot of different practices in construction.  At Ausconnex we were grateful for the opportunity to work with Transport for New South Wales, CPB Contractors and Western Sydney University on this innovative solution to protect local fauna on the M12 Early Works project.

In this article, you can read more about this multi-layered development in sustainable practices during road construction. The trials were so successful that the practice is now being implemented on other projects.

You’ll also find a link to useful information on what you can do, if you ever find a turtle crossing a road.

Special thanks to Jim Steen, Environmental Coordinator from TfNSW, for championing this initiative and providing us with the images for this article.
