The YARA Co team completed a specialised concrete remediation package within the National Gallery of Australia's Stormwater Retention Tank, working inside a confined space with restricted access to restore structural integrity and extend the asset's service life.

The scope included hydro demolition at 20,000 psi to remove a defective waterproof membrane and deteriorated concrete, treatment of exposed reinforcement, placement of a low shrink concrete topping,
and reinstatement of the waterproof membrane system.

Restoring critical infrastructure where access is anything but simple. Every stage required careful planning, precision, and strict adherence to safety protocols, demonstrating the team's capability to deliver complex remediation works in challenging environments.

Throwback to a proud moment for YARA Co — giving young Wiradjuri artist Jayden McLachlan the opportunity to design and paint "Our Future," the artwork that now represents who we are.

Backing young First Nations talent is something we care about, and Jayden's work is a reminder of why. The piece tells a story of strong leadership, future generations, and community supporting community, with handprints and footprints marking the impact we hope to leave behind.

Grateful to Jayden for bringing this to life, and proud to keep giving young artists and young leaders the platform to do the same.

The Bowylie Accommodation Village – Civil & Earthworks Project is now complete, transforming a greenfield site into a fully serviced platform for a 200-room accommodation village supporting the Woodlawn Copper-Zinc Mine near Tarago, NSW.

Delivered for Develop Global Limited, the project involved bulk and detailed earthworks, building platforms, roads, car parks, drainage infrastructure, retaining structures, and primary access works. Thanks to strong planning, collaboration, and coordination across all teams, the project was delivered efficiently and built to support the mine's operations well into the future.

A great result made possible by everyone involved.
