Arabella Apartments has seen a substantial amount of progress occur in the month of April. The progress is largely due to the extended workforce that Wightman Building Company now employees and houses in Port Hedland. The complex in Wedgefield is now home to 10 people, with the recently finished extension allowing four more people to move in. These spots will shortly be filled as demand on site becomes ever greater.
April has seen the following developments on site;
- The last footings poured
- Both commercial tenancy slabs poured
- Completion of all plumbing and drainage work in the ground (including firefighting area and water tanks)
- Over 50 tonnes of scaffold delivered
- All ground floor AFS walls delivered
- Standing and pouring of the AFS walls to the driveway ramp
- Standing of AFS walls throughout both commercial areas
- The suspended slab over the second commercial area ready to pour
This has allowed Wightman Building Company to remain on track with its initial schedule and will potentially see the first suspended slab poured in May
