The brief
The river bed was workable for five months only. Eleven pier foundations had to be complete before the monsoon reached the working platform.
Boulder horizons at 12–18 m had stopped a previous contractor.
What we did
One contractor from the borelog to the final test certificate.
Bunded working platform designed for machine loads and a defined evacuation trigger.
Forty-four barrettes at 2.8 × 1.0 m to 34 m, two rigs working in parallel.
Chiselling regime agreed and priced up front instead of claimed later.
Cross-hole sonic logging on every barrette before the platform came out.

On site
“Two rigs, five months and no claim for the boulders. That was the whole risk on this package.”
