JT Harvey Construction, a Darwin-based company specialising in civil and commercial projects, was integral in delivering the Tiger Brennan Drive and Berrimah Road Overpass project.
“We completed all the drain works, culverts, headwalls, wingwalls, and even the pedestrian underpass for pathway traffic,” said Director Jeff Harvey, who founded JT Harvey Construction in 2016. These critical components not only facilitated safe pedestrian access but also supported the overall structural integrity of the bypass.
The Northern Territory’s notorious wet season posed significant challenges during the project, requiring JT Harvey Construction to adapt their methods. “The monsoonal season is hot and crazy—imagine pouring concrete with 90% humidity. It’s something you get used to,” Harvey said. “We had to carefully consider the impact of rain while lining the drains with concrete. Luckily, the wet season didn’t significantly impact our progress.”
“On a big site like this, things change by the hour,” Harvey noted. “We worked hard to complete our package so that other trades could move forward behind us. Collaboration was crucial to keeping the project on track.”
Beyond technical execution, JT Harvey Construction upheld its commitment to safety and sustainability. “Safety is ingrained in everything we do. My background in compliance ensured that we met every requirement on site,” Harvey said. The team also participated in workforce engagment initiatives led by principal contractor Sitzler, including milestone-driven site-wide activities like appreciation barbecues that fostered camaraderie across teams.
The results of JT Harvey Construction’s work are already evident. “The methods we implemented based on the construction design are performing as intended,” Harvey stated. “It’s rewarding to see the project not just completed, but truly making a difference for the community.”
