Gawler East Link

Project Value: $60m

Duration: 2018 — 2020

Supported the early pre-construction design development of the works requiring extensive consultation with stakeholders including local council and the surrounding property developers. The project had numerous challenges associated with various work site areas as outlined below;
Significant volumes of quarry tailings discovered under new road pavement areas and also adjacent new bridge crossing in abutment areas requiring extensive early design engagement optioneering and including early contractor participation. Solution adopted was to strip back tailings in places over 20 mtrs deep and recompact with engineered fill.
Early extensive geotechnical investigation and reporting was required to firm up the road alignment, pavement and bridge design to determine minimise cost and project schedule.
Existing ElectraNet High Voltage (HV) Transmission lines found to be too low in height (clearance) crossed the new designated road pavement. These HV transmission lines had to be raised and the works need to be coordinated with ElectraNet whom engaged Enerven (SAPN) to perform this work. Ironically it was a Dommar resource working for Enerven that project managed the HV work associated with lifting the height of the existing HV transmission towers.
Extensive early stakeholder consultation associated with the delivery of the road works which were collectively paid between State Government, Gawler Council and the adjoining Land Developer. This multiple Stakeholder involvement required ongoing close engagement and approval from multiple parties across all aspects of the works including early design development, schedules, cost control and associated documentation. Early open consultation alleviated concerns whereby gaining stakeholder support including that of the local community.
Continuous implementation and monitoring of initiatives that fostered elevated safety awareness and ‘Zero Harm’ culture throughout the work areas. Continuous and regular use of group tool box meetings and discussion of safety at construction meetings with all contractors and sub-contractors so as to ensure that safety was always paramount and at the forefront; facilitated via continual awareness programs, training and issue of reminder notifications.
Because the project had a large footprint cover, it was important to establish and apply clear communication paths with everyone on the ground including the wider stakeholders not located on site. This fast communication path introduced transparency which made the project delivery process smoother and reduced unnecessary communication trails when problems arose with real time alerts, automated actions and easy-to-visualize dashboard reporting. This clear communication delivery framework was also applied at the higher project level associated with; contractual, costing, variations, scheduling, etc.
