Heavy-Lift Deconstruction & High-Rise Demolition
– Melbourne, Victoria
This project entailed the removal of a significantly deteriorated steel & concrete structure (the equivalent of a 30-storey building) within a fully operational Major-Hazard Facility.
The technical solution in this instance, involved the utilisation of the World’s largest Heavy-Lift Luffing (HLL) Tower Crane, along with several innovative techniques to dismantle, as well as process significantly large structural components and vessels. The largest single complex lift, executed within an extremely limited operating footprint, was circa 195 tonne.
Over a period of 24 months, more than 100,000 man-hours of extremely challenging de-commissioning, deconstruction & demolition procedures (not previously undertaken in Australia) were conducted without any safety incidents whatsoever.
We enabled the project to be delivered in a timely manner, with a perfect safety record and within 3% of a budget to which we had committed four years previously.
- For this undertaking our Director received a Fuelling Victoria Award for Outstanding Contribution.
Dust Explosion Remedial Works & Demolition
– Manildra, NSW
Clean-up works were conducted immediately adjacent to the strategic, country New South Wales, section of main rail artery of the Sydney-Perth line.
This necessitated the use of two 100-tonne mobile cranes and support vehicles working directly adjacent to, and over, the main regional rail tracks and shunting areas connecting the Mill to this main rail artery.
As such, all works were conducted under the direct Supervision of our Director Robert Brady, working in conjunction with a full-time Protection Officer and in strict adherence to the requirements of SafeWork NSW and the Country Regional Rail Network.
These works were excecuted over a period of 8 months, within an environment laden with highly combustible residual materials. All activities were successfully completed without major incident, and without any disruption to the critical rail services.
