Aussie Rental Maintenance Services (ARMS)

Aussie Rental Maintenance Services (ARMS) delivered high-quality commercial landscaping solutions to enhance the final stages of the infrastructure upgrade in the Tiger Brennan Drive & Berrimah Road Overpass project. Specialising in sub-grade preparation, topsoil placement, spray grass application, tree planting, and irrigation, ARMS ensured the project’s landscaping met durability and environmental sustainability standards.

“Our team was responsible for sub-grade preparation, topsoil placement, direct seeding, and jute mat installation to protect against erosion,” said Silas Thorley, General Manager of ARMS. “The unique challenge of this project was managing the steep gradients and the impact of the wet season, which led to higher erosion risks and rapid weed growth. Our experience in commercial landscaping and site maintenance allowed us to overcome these obstacles effectively.”

In the Northern Territory, managing steep gradients and wet season challenges requires a combination of erosion control, drainage management, and vegetation control strategies. Techniques such as jute matting, hydroseeding, and rock armoring help stabilise soil and prevent runoff, while stormwater diversion channels and vacuum excavation mitigate waterlogging during heavy rains.

To control rapid weed growth, pre-seeding with native grasses, mulching, and targeted herbicide application suppress invasive species and promote long-term stability.

The landscaping work through head contractor Sitzler covered various large batters, 4 major detention basins, the grass centre median, and garden beds on both the north and south ends of the overpass. ARMS also implemented permanent and temporary irrigation systems, ensuring long-term sustainability and ease of maintenance for the site.

This project is just one of many major infrastructure jobs ARMS has undertaken, with recent work including landscaping for the Northern Land Council Building in Berrimah, Kangaroo Flats Training Ground, and Tindal RAAF Base.

By combining expertise with a deep understanding of the Northern Territory’s unique environmental conditions, Aussie Rental Maintenance Services continues to deliver high-quality, sustainable landscaping solutions for major civil and commercial projects.

Arjay’s Sales & Services Pty Ltd

Arjays Sales & Services Pty Ltd, a trusted leader in road infrastructure and construction solutions in the Northern Territory, brought their expertise to the forefront on the Tiger Brennan Drive and Berrimah Road Overpass project. Their innovative approach was pivotal in enhancing safety and functionality, successfully overcoming the unique challenges of the site.

For the project, Arjays supplied and installed vital road furniture, such as guide posts, road signage, tactile indicators, rumble strips, holding rails, including a combination of safety barriers from traditional w beam with transitions to thriebeam, high containment, motorcycle protection, quad guard elite, concrete connections approach and trailing terminals.

With safety on the project being paramount, Arjays facilitated in hiring variable message boards, speed check signs and temporary barriers to guide public road users through the open road sections whilst the project was under construction.

“Guardrail safety barrier supply and installation is one of our more specialised services, requiring precision and adaptability to meet the project’s evolving needs,” explained Corey Lambert, Managing Director of Arjays.

Construction staging and timelines evolved dynamically with multiple contractors on site and wet season weather impacts. Arjays turned these moments into opportunities to showcase their adaptability and experience by working weekends to maintain steady progress and to ensure the project stayed on course without significant delays.

“Working to moving timelines and changes in design required us to stay nimble. We adapted to changes quickly and reallocated resources as needed to ensure deadlines were met,” Corey said.

One notable aspect of Arjays’ role was managing the installation of large-scale signage for Sitzler, a recent addition to the company’s activities. “While we’ve handled smaller projects before, some of the signs on this job were massive. It was a learning curve, but it showcased our team’s ability to overcome challenges and deliver,” Corey added.

Arjays’ commitment to precision, problem-solving, and adaptability contributed to the success of the Tiger Brennan Drive and Berrimah Road Overpass project, ensuring the overpass is a safe, durable,
and functional piece of infrastructure for the Northern Territory.
