VicRoads Geelong Ring Road Project Uses Vinidex StormPRO ® Stormwater Drainage Pipe Systems
The Geelong Ring Road project by VicRoads is a stretch of freeway in Victoria , Australia extending 27 km ( 17 mi ) beside Geelong ' s western suburbs . The project commenced in early 2006 and finished late 2014 , with a total funding cost of over $ 490 million from the Victorian and Federal Governments .
Vinidex was contracted by Cut and Fill P / L to supply the majority of the stormwater drainage pipes necessary for Stages 4A and 4B in 2011 . This highly successful installation then led Cut and Fill to nominate StormPRO ® drainage systems as their product of choice for the next stage of the project section 4C , the design and construction of arterial road that extends 4.5km from Anglesea Rd to Surf Coast Hwy Grovedale . Vinidex StormPRO ® Polypropylene drainage pipe was used in sizes ranging from 375mm to 900mm in internal diameter .
Cut and Fill P / L civil engineer contractors have over 30 years of experience in major civil infrastructure works across the South Eastern seaboard of Australia . Highly regarded and reputable within the industry , Vinidex were delighted to be Cut and Fill ’ s the first choice for their drainage and stormwater pipe system needs .
As a result Cut and Fill nominated 2.2km of StormPRO ® to use for another major section of the project which is an arterial road ; the duplication of Princes Hwy , including bridge widening , from Austin St to west of Deans Marsh Rd Winchelsea .
Vinidex StormPRO ® is the perfect choice for all stormwater applications for a number of reasons including its lightweight qualities , ease of installation and handling , thus dramatically reduces construction time *.
