WELCOME MESSAGE / 2011

Even a quick flick through the pages of this year’s 2011 Winning Projects publication will help a casual observer to digest the level of complexity and demand for quality in the finished product required of contractors in the building and construction industry. The finalists and winners featured inside have deservedly been recognized for their talent, expertise and professionalism at the 2011 Master Builders and Boral Excellence in Building Awards.

Scrutiny of the work of award entrants results in an expert judging panel arriving at finalists and ultimately the winners via a strict set of parameters. These include assessment of quality of workmanship, aesthetics, innovation, technical difficulty, amenities, and environmental factors. Additional criteria are included for environmental award finalists. This is an acknowledgment of an industry not only reaching standards imposed but setting new benchmarks for itself.

It is clear that the judging panel set the bar high in these awards as the calibre and competency of finalists was exceptionally high. That is evident by the work on display throughout this publication.

All projects of finalist and winners demonstrate quality and innovation and make strong statements about standards of design, construction and management. They are a testament to the level of commitment and dedication of Master Builders’ members in providing clients with first class professional services, and a quality end product.

Notwithstanding the very close scrutiny of the building and construction industry, knowledgeable and experienced observers understand and know more often than not, the standard is exceptionally high. I congratulate the very deserving finalists and winners.

Sponsors are critical to these awards and the general well-being of our industry. Our long-term partnership with Boral is one of which we are truly proud. Boral leads in its ethical and dedicated approach to business and their commitment to sustainability. They are values and beliefs we share at MBA-ACT. I conclude by thanking Boral and all our other valuable 2011 Master Builders and Boral Excellence in Building Awards sponsors.

Enjoy the read.

ManteenaProject national Gallery of australia, new look, stage 1 indigenous Galleries & new entrance

PROJECT OF THE YEARWinner

“Manteena have displayed great knowledge and expertise in both the construction and coordination of this immensely prestigious and complex project.”


Manteena have displayed great knowledge

and expertise in both the construction and

coordination of this immensely prestigious

and complex 4,390m² project. The National

Gallery of Australia has long struggled with the

constraints of its original design and lack of

adequate display space, a problem which has been

tackled to great success by the team at Manteena.

The newly constructed entrance is now more

visible and accessible for visitors to the gallery,

and once inside guests are greeted by 11 specially

designed Indigenous art galleries built specifically

to accommodate a diverse range of artwork

including all sizes of early dot paintings, bark

paintings, textiles, ceramics and sculptures.

The scope of this project and the difficulties

involved are immense, from the need for the

building works to blend aesthetically with

the artwork to more logistical issues such as

accessibility and security.

14


Other key elements of the project include

improved visitor car parking facilities such as

tunnel, lift and stairs from the underground level

to the entry level, fit-out of the existing under

croft for art packing, framing and storage, new

separated loading docks and art lift for moving

of artworks, new kitchen facilities, underground

mechanical plant room and much more.

This project is a masterpiece in it its own right,

featuring high quality materials, exquisite

workmanship and meticulous attention to detail.

G.E. Shaw & Associates (ACT)

COmmERCIAL PROJECT ExHIBITINg TECHNICAL dIFFICULTY OR INNOvATION

G.E. Shaw & Associates have completed this obviously complex project with great expertise and professionalism. The judges noted the very high quality vinyl, gyprock and the skilled workmanship evident throughout the project. Particularly difficult aspects such as limited equipment access to the site and foundation work at the basement level required careful onsite management. The project also called for close liaison with hospital staff and G.E. Shaw has communicated effectively to deliver this complex facility.

Winner

Project neurosurgical suite and related Works, the canberra hospital

39


The project involved the creation of a new MRI-equipped Neurosurgical Suite in Building 12 at the Canberra Hospital. As no suitable space was available within the building that could be reconfigured to accommodate the Suite, and as there was no capacity for extending in a horizontal direction due to impingement on all four sides by other buildings, it was decided that the only option was to construct upwards by adding a new floor to the building that would accommodate the new Suite.

The logistics of undertaking a major project in a working hospital with no interruption to hospital services and functions

was a major accomplishment that required management of the highest order. The work site was also surrounded on all sides by the Peri-operative Unit, Coronary Care Unit and the Emergency Department, creating another challenge.

Hewatt Earthworks

CIvIL ENvIRONmENTAL mANAgEmENT PROJECT

The project entailed the remediation of a proposed building site at HMAS Harman, where significant contamination (including the presence of asbestos) had been discovered.

Hewatt assumed the responsibility for the entire remedial process, from initial investigation to determine the extent and nature of the contaminants, the preparation of a Remediation Action Plan, the control for safe removal and disposal of the contaminants, to the reinstatement of the site ready for building construction.

Due to the lack of an adequate official approval procedure for a project of this nature, Hewatt established an accepted practice for future works of this nature.

Construction Control

ExCELLENCE IN OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH & SAFETY - SYSTEm

Construction Control has established and maintained a health,

safety and environmental plan that is deployed on all projects.

The OH&S system in particular uses highly complex principal

risk assessment strategies in conjunction with their clients,

subcontractors and specialist advisers for each project and to

date has a high level of success in terms of limiting injury and

promoting compliance requirements of all staff on site and

those neighbouring sites.

The Mode 3 project is on the site of an old petrol station which

creates potential for great risk to workers and those in the

vicinity from the contamination to the ground from a range

of toxic materials. The site is constantly monitored by sensors

in the machinery and by patrols of specialist teams. Workers

are protected by ‘moon suits’ and extensive health checks are

performed on all staff. All contractors must, and do follow all

requirements set down in the corporate and site specific safety

plans and to date no incidents or injuries have occurred.
