Moggill Road / Western Freeway interchange project .
Construction takes place on all four sites year round , but Transcity is restricted to night work on the majority of sites that impact the road network so the construction efforts interfere as little as possible with the travelling public . Tunnelling and underground fit out work can take place 24 hours a day .
To keep things orderly in the construction zone , Transcity has their own logistics team on site which manages the delivery of supplies and materials throughout the site and to work areas . Because of the nature of the project , the teams have restricted workspace , which causes some issues .
“ We have a very restricted worksite when it comes to space , so we don ’ t have the advantage to bring a mass of materials and store them on site , we basically have to bring things in as they are required ,” said Chris Brett , Construction Manager .
There is also an in house procurement team that shares all updates and important information with the different parts of the team .
With a project this large , challenges in communication are inescapable . Sanchez shared that having different workers with different levels of expertise in different fields has led to challenges in communication between the different crews . With their on-site management however , these challenges have been few and far between , and usually resolved quickly .
Transcity has also made a concerted effort to eliminate the impacts the community and environment have experienced . By working with the Brisbane City Council to minimise these impacts , Transcity has been successful in maintaining a positive working relationship with those impacted during construction .
Electrical and Mechanical Fit out The project is currently full speed ahead with the electrical and mechanical fit out , which began in February of this year . Transcity has made an alliance with the mechanical and electrical contractor RCR , which is based out of Perth in Western Australia .
