BAM Construction – Space House

At the onset, C A Drillers undertook specific assignments for the Space House project, which included making track saw cuts on 48 concrete T units within PAYE’s yard. These intricate tasks demanded heavy-duty cutting and drilling. Each unit required a 3m x 450mm deep track saw cut, a 3m x 750mm deep track saw cut, and a central stitch drill to separate the 3m x 750mm x 450mm section.

Once cut, these units were lifted by the on-site crane and redistributed. Due to certain time restrictions, PAYE made accommodations for additional T units in the yard, consequently amplifying the productivity expected from CA in order to ensure compliance with the project’s schedule. Despite these demands, the team completed the tasks within the set timeframe. Following this initial phase, CA relocated to the Space House site where they were tasked with trimming back lift shaft slabs and executing necessary concrete repairs. Considering the tasks were to be carried out within a lift shaft, operatives ensured the implementation of adequate safety measures to mitigate risk from falling debris.

Activities within the lift shaft were managed with multiple layers of corex to reduce the amount of debris. This careful breakout of the slab also allowed for efficient debris clearance. Additionally, the concrete repair works within the lift shaft were thoroughly documented by the C A site manager through quality assurance documents. These were countersigned by BAM management to verify that all repairs were conducted to their specifications.

In the subsequent stages, C A has carried out a host of diverse tasks around the site. These tasks range from prepping the floors throughout the entire building, lowering the slab level to assist the screed applicators in their work, employing our Brokk robots to chip away at the screed in B2, stitch drilling riser openings across every floor, and creating numerous openings and core holes through both the slab and wall for M&E and ductwork facilitation. Our team continues to work diligently on site, delivering high-quality results and readily accommodating the site team’s requests, irrespective of the given time constraints. For quality control and safety assurance, our contracts manager and health & safety manager conduct either weekly or bi-weekly site visits, undertaking on-site briefings and carrying out safety walkarounds with the C A site team.
