Project Overview
Multi-faceted project involving demolition, remediation, service upgrades & installation.
McMahon Services were contracted by ISPT in early 2005 to undertake a vast and complex scope of works at the Charles Sturt Industrial Estate (formerly SA Manufacturing Park), located 8km west of Adelaide CBD. McMahon Services were contracted due to their versatility, as the scope of works varied over many fields of expertise including demolition, asbestos removal, building works, services upgrades and installations. It also includes remediation, road works, existing building upgrade works and major landscaping works, making the project truly unique. The works also included the upgrading of existing services and installation of new services.
Major landscaping included supply and installation of 24 steel feature columns, park furniture including tables, seats, rubbish bins and bike racks, construction of feature walls, block paving of footpaths and roadways, and the supply and installation of new site signage, as well as some remedial works.
The project was broken up into many stages as the estate was to remain tenanted and operational during the works. Because of this McMahon Services had to work and liaise closely with a number of builders, contractors and tenants to ensure this was possible. The site needed to be accessible by tenants and other contractors at all times. There was a very strong emphasis on OHS and environmental management and control.
One major concern on the project was dust levels, McMahon Services utilised their two in-house water carts, to ensure all dirt across the site was adequately controlled. We have also had to work along side builders, as new construction works were also being undertaken. New services had to be laid in a short timeframe to tie in with tight construction programmes. We were able to meet all delivery dates, ensuring the project progressed smoothly.
Due to the nature of the project and scope of works, McMahon Services were required to develop alternative design and construction methods to overcome problems encountered, this included stormwater and remedial problems which were solved using innovative techniques and solutions.
