PROJECT OVERVIEW

Following Cyclone Jasper in December 2023, Far North Queensland's road network suffered extensive damage with approximately 200 landslips. A subsequent rain event in February 2024 triggered a significant slope failure on the Kuranda Range Road, prompting Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) to engage Geovert for emergency stabilization works.

The project aimed to maintain access via the single remaining lane of this critical infrastructure, with works jointly funded through the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA).

Disaster Response
PROJECT SOLUTION

Geovert demonstrated rapid emergency response capability by mobilizing equipment and crews within five days of engagement. Despite extreme weather conditions, including 891mm of rainfall in March and 336mm in April, the team executed works during night shifts to minimize community disruption.

Working within constrained six-hour daily windows, the team implemented specialized safety protocols and task-specific Safe Work Method Statements to maintain productivity in challenging tropical conditions. By coordinating resources across multiple Australian regions and maintaining effective communication channels with all stakeholders, Geovert successfully delivered the stabilization works while managing community impact.

The project exemplified Geovert's capability to rapidly deploy comprehensive solutions for critical infrastructure emergencies, ultimately receiving positive community feedback and meeting TMR's objectives for minimal disruption to this essential transport link.
