Accreditation of Stabilisation Contractors Update

The RTA (N.S.W) has introduced a Registration Scheme to classify Stabilisation Contractors with their technical and managerial expertise, quality of equipment, financial capacity and previous experience. In addition to the existing prequalification system, the RTA are working towards only accepting work to be undertaken by a Contractor registered in that particular class or category of work. The relevant Class for stabilisation works is Z1 (Stabilisation by Insitu Method).

Also available at a National level is the. AustStab (the Australian Stabilisation Industry Association) accreditation scheme. AustStab is recommending Councils to only use AustStab accredited companies for stabilisation works.

As it is expected that registration will become mandatory, it is suggested that Councils ensure that their tenders and quotations require either RTA Z1 [N.S.W] registration or Auststab accreditation to ensure quality workmanship.

SPA, as well as being an accredited AustStab contractor, is prequalified with the state road authorities for highway contracts in Queensland (R2), NSW (Z1 & R2) and Victoria (R1).For any further enquiries on SPA's accreditation please contact your local SPA manager.
