IT'S JEANS FOR GENES DAY!
REMEMBER TO WEAR YOUR JEANS TO WORK!

We know that the combination of bushfires and the COVID 19 pandemic has made 2020 a really difficult year for many in our community.

Globally, 12 kids are born every minute with a genetic disease or birth defect whose lives will never return to normal – without treatments and cures.

Kids just want to be kids, but instead of playing sports with their friends or catching butterflies on a sunny day, these kids are getting liver transplants, taking dozens of medications, or getting their next dose of chemotherapy. It shouldn’t be this way. You can help the scientists at Children’s Medical Research Institute find cures, so these kids can go back to being kids.

Last week AVID Resources's Management Team took some time out to cook a BBQ for our crew working hard on our Ellenbrook 3ML Storage Tank Project for the Water Corporation💧

After completing earthworks, setting up our dewatering systems and construction of the tank floor, we're moving on with tanks walls. Stay tuned for future updates 👷‍♀️👷‍♂️🚛

P.S. We would like to apologise to all of the Fremantle Dockers fans out there for the West Coast Eagles flag on the crane. AVID is an equal opportunity employer & we'll make sure we display it as well in future... (when they win 😉).

Earlier this year AVID Resources delivered the Septic Tank Effluent Disposal (STED) scheme to Bruce Rock for the Water Corporation of Western Australia

The scheme takes partially treated wastewater from household septic tanks through a pipeline to a disposal pond system.

The job wasn't without it's challenges!

When moving along Dampier Street in Bruce Rock we had to navigate past a heritage listed bakery kiln build sometime in the 1920's!

The bakery was built for Geo Falconer and his family. He was a tailor with the shop front for business. Falconer employed two people in his business and served on the local Roads Board. The Basdens may have served bread from here at a later date. Other bakers also used this bakehouse and gave service over the counter in Johnston Street. The Eels served school lunches. The Nancarrows ran the bakery in the 1950's. Ping The Shire of Bruce Rock.

Last week we completed a major milestone at our Ellenbrook 3ML Concrete Waste Water Overflow Tank Construction Project for the Water Corporation. Stay tuned to see how we did it with some amazing footage from our project partner Holcim. 👷‍♂️👷‍♀️🚛🚛🚛🚛

⛔Temporary Road Closure⛔ 👷‍♂️👷‍♀️

Fisher Street, Rockingham, WA
Monday 6 July - Saturday 11 July

To safely install the section of pipe across Fisher Street we need to temporarily close Fisher Street, near the intersection of Fisher Street and Rosewood Street, for approximately one week from 6 July to 11 July, 2020.

A local detour will be in place along Rosewood Street, Lyttleton Street, Bay View Street and Properjohn Drive.

This detour will take place between Monday 6 July and 11 July, 2020.
Please note this work is scheduled to take place across the school holidays to reduce impact as much as possible. A number of other road closures will also be required over the coming months which we will notify you prior.

Signage will be clearly displayed to direct traffic. All work will be completed in accordance with approved traffic management plans.
Please take extra care in the area to ensure the safety of road users and crews.

WE’RE BACK!!!! 😀

Over the last week AVID Resources has started welcoming some staff back into our fresh, clean and socially distanced office.

Like most business we're being careful, cautious and ensuring the health, safety and well being of our staff comes first.

It’s the start of getting back to normal.
