Orion worked closely with Stockland and the project environmental consultant to ensure any contamination onsite was remediated in a safe and efficient manner. It had been identified there was contamination in the western half of the site.
Orion was able to stage the works so that the civil works contractor was able to start the eastern half of the site, including decommissioning and backfill the two existing dams which was on the critical path.
The original program detailed key tasks being run in a linear format. The contractor was able to review their program and split the site into four zones. This allowed multiple crews to operate on different key tasks across the length of the road extension simultaneously.
In relation to compliance with the VPA’s and access deeds, Orion maintained transparent communications with the relevant stakeholders throughout the project. This was achieved through regular meetings onsite and formal notices.
During COVID restrictions, Orion ran outdoor meetings onsite as well as online meetings via MS teams. Maintaining effective communications enabled Orion to streamline the works and minimised adjustment works required by the adjacent residential subdivisions.
