Maintenance
Promoting safe, reliable and efficient road networks is the focus of our asset management teams
Higgins proudly holds a number of maintenance contracts for central and local government authorities managing state highways as well as local and rural roads.
Using the latest technology we monitor our network assets in real time for strong whole of life asset planning and strong client collaboration.
Our asset management teams look after all aspects of road maintenance from ‘fenceline to fenceline’ to ensure safe and efficient road networks. That means we’re doing work from cutting grass, clearing culverts and filling potholes, right through to resurfacing and everything in between.
