Client
Cardboard Manufacturer
Project
Terrazzo was contracted as the Principal Contractor by the client that required construction of a new machine foundation within a busy operating factory.
What were the challenges?
The was a 600mm mains stormwater line that had to be re-diverted with two new drainage pits installed. We had to build the new line while the old line was still in place and operating.
The project involved removing hundreds of cubic metres of spoil that had to subsequently be reinstated to accommodate the replacement stormwater line.
The project was managed within a busy operating facility.
How did Terazzo solve these challenges?
We engaged with a licensed plumber to work in conjunction with us to ensure that the process of installing a new stormwater line, was managed without disruption to the existing stormwater system, to minimize risk of flooding if it rained.
Protective hoarding was installed to isolate the work zone. Every stage was meticulously planned to minimize disruption while maintaining a safe work environment for all personnel. Primary pours were managed on Saturdays to avoid conflicting with normal operating hours.
Project result
The foundations were constructed with precision, enabling the overseas machinery provider to install the machine efficiently and within a timely manner.
