Features of this project included:
We proposed to the University upon award to use the subsequent two weeks pre-site mobilisation as an ECI style investigation period to ensure the proposed methodology could be undertaken to mitigate risk to PC date.
With acceptance of our proposal, we uncovered latent conditions that required several workshops with the consultants and our subcontractors to propose an alternate methodology.
Pre-existing external bookings within the construction site had to accommodated. Workshops with key stakeholders enabled us to programme around these works largely out of hours, requiring daily set up and pack down of the six scissor lifts being used as well as protection to the engineered floor to hand back a safe and clean site for these events which included school holiday children’s programmes.
With the majority of works occurring 15m off the ground, our superior OHS management was critical the safe delivery of the project. After commencing on site, Curtin’s Working at Heights Rules changed requiring all personnel who were going to be using the scissor lifts, even passengers, to have High Risk Licences and new Working at Heights Permits. We managed and achieved this without affecting programme.
Significant structural and AV upgrades were required to accommodate the new sound system and the three 400 inch screens suspended from the ceiling as well as installation of rigging points.
Power operated stage curtains were installed behind a new bulkhead as well as curtains to a custom designed and made track
