Sandown Catching Pen

Contek was engaged with GRV to construct to rebuild a catching pen alongside civil works such as the concrete path surrounding the pen, drainage and retaining wall upgrades. Contek also assisted GRV with drainage issues post construction with a new subsurface drainage pipe in conjunction with a pit supporting the fence line.
This project was done under strict timeframes due to disruptions to racing so Contek adapted to the timeframes and finished the project with minimal disruptions to the racetrack.

Main Scope:

• Earthworks
• Retaining wall
• Concrete
• Conduits
