Delay, Disruption and Claims Management for Major Road Piling Works
Accura Consulting was engaged by a major civil works contractor to provide delay, disruption, and claims management services during the delivery of piling works on a major road project.
The Pacific Highway Upgrade project was a large-scale road infrastructure program improving transport links along New South Wales’ east coast.
The piling package, part of several complex bridge and civil structure elements, was impacted by ground conditions, interface issues, and sequencing delays, creating substantial challenges around time, productivity, and cost recoveries.

Our team reviewed construction records, equipment logs, subcontractor communications, and scheduling data to deliver a comprehensive and defensible assessment of entitlement.
