Outcomes
Combining the overarching business management system of the BMD Group effectively with the project team’s management experience, the project was able to benchmark high performance and deliver several key outcomes to the client. Cost savings were achieved through substantial re-use of onsite materials and accelerated programming delivered the project three months ahead of schedule.
Despite having over 600 workers, 135,000 work hours and multiple subcontractor’s onsite during the project’s duration, BMD recorded zero lost time injuries.
Environmental protection was of upmost importance to the project team. BMD implemented fauna gates and undertook weekly fauna checks and inspections to ensure minimal disruption to the environment and allow for safe access across the site. The project team also worked together to avoid traffic congestion, reduce pollution, and minimise noise on neighbouring roads. Sustainable initiatives for recycling onsite rock and concrete waste materials were also introduced.
Relationships with the client, superintendent, subcontractors, suppliers and other key stakeholders remained positive throughout the project despite the challenges. The collaborative approach drove innovation throughout the delivery phase to help overcome all challenges faced.
