Eifers Uses Low-Carbon Concrete At Melbourne Airport’s Uber Terminal
Eifers Civil Pty Ltd
Eifers, the family-owned time-critical civil construction company, continues to cement its reputation as a premier contractor at Melbourne Airport with its latest project: the construction of the Uber Terminal at Terminal 4.
Eifers delivered a range of critical tasks, including canopy and foundation installation, guttering and downpipes, footpath and ramp design and construction, mechanical ventilation HDPE pipe installation, public lighting installation, bollard installation, and the relocation of hydrants, water meters, and fire hose reels. Additionally, landscaping works are being undertaken to enhance the aesthetic appeal of the site.
One of the most impactful features of this project is the installation of 472m2 of footpath and canopy. The project, which commenced in May 2024 and is expected to be completed by August 2024, involves 12 key staff members from Eifers.
Despite the challenges posed by the area’s high visibility, passenger traffic, and the relocation of numerous in-ground services, Eifers has managed to maintain progress thanks to innovative methods and products.The offsite prefabricated structure from Stoddart Infrastructure has accelerated the construction program for Eifers, while the use of Adbri’s low-carbon concrete Futurecrete has reduced CO² emissions by 23.8 tonnes.
Eifers’ ongoing projects also include maintenance and repairs at Melbourne Airport, Werribee River Park, and the Frankston Flinders Road widening. With a proven track record of delivering time-critical works using High Early Strength Concrete, Eifers is recognised as the go-to concrete contractor for Melbourne Airport.
Eifers is a family-owned Australian company with an agile and innovative approach to civil construction. Founded by the Eifermann family in 2003 as a small business, Eifers has grown to be a leading and trusted name within the civil construction and critical infrastructure works spaces.
