Scope

At Hunter Quarries, we are proud to announce the successful completion of a process audit for the M1 Pacific Motorway Extension to Raymond Terrace project, conducted on 24th September 2024. The audit, led by a Tier 1 contractor, evaluated our quality assurance practices, including stockpile management, material sampling, testing, and traceability of base and subbase materials.

Key Highlights of the Audit

  • Zero Non-Conformances: The audit resulted in zero non-conformance reports, underscoring our commitment to maintaining high-quality standards in all aspects of our operations.
  • Stockpile Management: We demonstrated full compliance with established Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), ensuring all stockpiles are managed, labelled, and tracked accurately.
  • Testing and Reporting: As part of our quality assurance, all material sampling and testing were subcontracted to Qualtest, a NATA-accredited third-party laboratory, ensuring reliable results that meet the strict specifications required for major infrastructure projects.

Quality Assurance and Compliance

The audit, which focused on our adherence to Transport for New South Wales (TfNSW) specifications, reaffirmed our dedication to delivering compliant materials for significant infrastructure projects. Each stockpile was uniquely identified and rigorously tracked through all stages—from creation and testing to final delivery—ensuring full traceability of materials.

Ensuring Best Practices

At Hunter Quarries, our technical team, led by Tom Roals, ensures that our quality management systems are maintained at the highest level. This includes routine internal audits, regular equipment calibrations, and ongoing staff training to uphold our commitment to quality and compliance.

A Testament to Our Standards
