COAL STACKER DISMANTLING
Demecon were commissioned to act as Site-Representatives and Nominated Supervisors in the Demolition & Removal Works of a 600Te Coal Stacker near to Mackay, Queensland, on behalf of the Principal Contractors for the Engineering Works.
Mackay, Queensland
All Demolition and Site Works were conducted under the auspices of Demecon’s Unrestricted Demolition Licence, utilizing a 280Te Hitachi Sumitomo Crawler-Crane in conjunction with a 200Te Terex All-terrain mobile.
This commission involved oversight of all Demolition-related activities, including review of Construction Management Plans & associated Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS) as well as the related Job Safety Analysis (JSA) documentation, for the duration of the Works.
The Demolition site was subsequently handed back, incident-free and in a safe & timely manner, to the Client’s Site Operations Team.
POWER STATION DEMOLITION
North-east Tasmania
Demecon were commissioned to act as Client Superintendent (under AS4000 contracting model) for the management of the Demolition & Removal Works of a redundant Oil-fired Thermal Power Station in North-east Tasmania.
The 1970s built facility consists of two 120MW generators with associated boilers and a 115m chimney stack, as well as adjacent jetty, dolphins and shoreline assets & infrastructure. Ancillary equipment, housed in the heavy section steel-framed Turbine Hall, requiring specialised removal & demolition techniques to reduce the structure.
This commission involved oversight of all Asbestos & HAZMAT removal and Demolition-related activities & site works, conducted under the supervision of Demecon’s experienced site-based management Team. The role involved oversight and review of all Demolition Management Plans and associated Safe Work Systems and documentation, for the initial phases of the Works.
HEAVY-LIFT DECONSTRUCTION & HIGH-RISE DEMOLITION
Melbourne, Victoria
Demecon were privileged to plan and manage the safe execution of a highly complex, industrial Demolition project in the Melbourne metropolitan area.
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 Tower Crane (Favco M2480M), 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 197 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 3% below 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
These works related to the safe dismantling and removal from site of the residual silos and steel structures associated with the dust-explosion experienced at this rural Mill.
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 executed 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.
