MOUNT ISA DRFA PACKAGE 1 + 3

The project was completed 900km away from our local area. This distance makes mobilising equipment, materials, and personnel more time-consuming and costly.

Solutions:

Comprehensive pre-project planning to coordinate logistics and avoid unnecessary delays.

Bulk delivery and staging of materials and equipment near the worksite to reduce reliance on long-haul trips.

Scheduled mobilisation of resources in alignment with project phases to optimise efficiency and minimise idle time.

The project demanded intricate traffic management strategies to navigate busy routes and ensure seamless operations without disrupting traffic flow.

Solutions:

Detailed Traffic Management Plans (TMPs) were developed and approved in advance, tailored to high-traffic and remote road conditions.

Real-time communication systems and traffic control personnel deployed to manage live traffic and ensure public and worker safety. Local subcontractor Traffic Management company engaged to do so.

Staged construction and lane closures implemented to reduce impact on road users and maintain accessibility.

Regular consultation with local councils and transport authorities ensured compliance and reduced disruption to surrounding communities.

The project required heavy collaboration with multiple other sub-contractors on the project, including quarries and sealing companies.

Solutions:

Clear communication protocols and regular coordination meetings were established to align all contractors on schedules, responsibilities, and safety procedures.

Centralised project management tools used for document sharing, progress tracking, and issue resolution across all parties.

Defined scopes of work and shared timelines helped prevent overlap and confusion among subcontractors.

Strong working relationships and proactive issue resolution fostered a collaborative environment, improving overall project flow and efficiency.
