Our Hopetoun campus was a hive of activity this morning as the very first of our four duplexes arrived on site!
Transported to Hopetoun from the Swan Build base in Swan Hill, the duplex arrived in a convoy of two pilot vehicles and two semi-trailers.
Split in half for transport, the duplex was lowered via hydraulics onto the large steel screws that were installed last week before a crane lifted the roof – causing quite a stir amongst our residents who were fascinated to watch the entire process unfold.
Our remaining duplexes are on track to arrive over the next fortnight, with the skilled and efficient Swan Build team now working to re-screw the halves together and ensure that each duplex is safe and secure on site.
Once all duplexes have arrived, RNH will work with local contractors to install amenities like electricity, water and plumbing, as well as future concreting and landscaping.
While RNH understands that the community may wish to view the duplexes, we kindly ask that all visitors remain at a safe distance off the site which remains a construction zone.
And watch this space for future duplex updates.
