Excited students from Old Noarlunga Primary School in South Australia got a taste of the construction world thanks to a visit from the team delivering the Department for Infrastructure and Transport’s Fleurieu Connections Alliance project, one of the state's largest road projects.
The visit aimed to spark interest in STEM fields and showcase the diverse opportunities in the construction industry.
Justin Redelinghuys, CPB Contractors Alliance Project Director, said students of all ages enjoyed the day which consisted of interactive activities, presentations and a guided bus tour of the project.
“CPB Contractors has an established school engagement framework which we’re really proud to bring to local schools in the community while we deliver the Fleurieu Connections Alliance project,” said Justin.
"By fostering a passion for STEM and an interest in construction early on, we hope to inspire future generations of skilled professionals.”
CPB Contractors is delivering the Main Road South and Victor Harbour Duplication projects as part of the Fleurieu Connection Alliance alongside Aurecon, GHD and the Department for Infrastructure and Transport.
The duplication of Main South Road involves duplicating approximately 10 kilometres from south of Griffiths Road, Seaford to Aldinga. This includes the addition of two new lanes in each direction, as well as the widening of shoulders and the construction of new median barriers.
The duplication of Victor Harbor Road involves duplicating approximately 5 kilometres between Main South Road, Old Noarlunga, and Main Road, McLaren Vale. This includes the addition of one new lane in each direction, as well as the widening of shoulders and the construction of new median barriers.
