Project Success

A $1.147 billion-dollar landmark rail project that transformed one of Australia’s fastest growing urban areas.

Challenges

• Eight sites spread across 24Kms, difficult management and productivity control.
• Tight client program requirements.
• Vigilant quality requirements, inspectors demanding reworks due to their interpretation of required standards.

DMC Solution

• Lean Construction, with teams spilt into specialist work crews, set up with specialist tools and plant.
• Continuous improvement, supervisors meeting daily to share lessons learnt and information on how to make the project more efficient and productive.
• Pull planning, work crews pulled into areas only when work spaces ready. Crews manned up and down depending on project constraints.
• Project innovation, inspectors provided with photographic test and quality documentation. Proving installation meets required standards. Other contractors forced to undertake rework and reinstate finished surfaces.
