Outcomes
BMD worked efficiently to establish the site, incorporating detailed planning to ensure the project commenced on time. This included careful logistics and transport for the required resources on the project with the team working proactively with the client to manage the project of works and ensure adequate scheduling of resources within the roster. The result was a flexible system which enabled all or some staff to allow for changes in the works and critical path activities to continue.
The project team identified opportunities to utilise both local suppliers for equipment requirements as well as employing operators for equipment as required, on a case by case basis aligned with the program of works to ensure operations were able to be maintained.
