In May 2016, a major safety upgrade strengthening the main embankment at Tullaroop Reservoir was completed.
The project was the first major project GMW utilised machine guidance technology on.
Machine guidance involves construction equipment, such as excavators, being equipped with GPS technology programmed with the project’s design. Construction crews can then use the GPS screen installed in the vehicle to see exactly where they need to add or remove soil, eliminating the need for traditional surveying equipment.
GMW has since used this technology for various other projects.
