J Group was engaged by Bankstown City Council for the upgrade of the stormwater drainage system along Rickard Road. The project includes realigning the kerb and gutter, reconstructing commercial crossings, and constructing in-situ stormwater pits to improve drainage capacity. Additionally, the works involve pavement reconstruction, line marking, minor landscaping, and the relocation of water mains.

Situated in a high-traffic commercial area, the project requires careful coordination with strict traffic management plans and environmental controls to ensure minimal disruption to local businesses and road users. Night work was permitted with restrictions on noise, and the project plays a crucial role in enhancing the drainage infrastructure to prevent future flooding and erosion.

• Site Establishment: Setting up the site with temporary fencing, traffic control measures, and site facilities.

• Demolition: Removal and disposal of existing kerbs, gutters, drainage pits, and stormwater pipes.

• Stormwater Drainage: Construction of in-situ stormwater pits and installation of new stormwater pipes to improve drainage capacity and prevent flooding.
