When most people think of traffic management, they tend to think of roadworks — and while that’s certainly true, there’s a lot more to what we do, here at Workzone.
Client: Schiavello Construction SA Pty Ltd
Project: Norwood Oval Refurbishment
The redevelopment of Norwood Oval has been eagerly anticipated by Norwood Football Club and fans for a number of years. A major project, it involves the construction of the new 2-storey Wolf Blass Community Centre, renovation and refurbishment of the existing grandstands and much more.
"Workzone is proud to be associated with this refurbishment and it is a pleasure to work with this professional company."
Workzone has been involved from the beginning of the project in May 2019, and we remain involved as the project continues. Our work to date has included:
As you can imagine, traffic management around the dismantling of a 40-storey tower crane is something that needs meticulous planning — almost 4 months of planning for one weekend.
Client: Maxcon Constructions Pty Ltd
Project: Tower Crane Dismantle, Realm Building, Adelaide
That weekend was 7-9 February 2020, but planning began back in November 2019, when we were contacted by the client, Maxcon Constructions. Workzone had already worked on a number of other Maxcon projects, including 310 Morphett Street Apartments and Penny Place Apartments. Consultation with many organisations We held site meetings with the client, detailed discussions with Adelaide City Council, and consulted with the Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure for impact by crane dismantlement. Our Workzone Planning Department prepared and distributed the Traffic Guidance Scheme, sought and gained permissions and permits required and notified the many organisations that needed to be informed — including Council, SA Police, Ambulance Services, SES, Metropolitan Fire Services, and Taxi and Bus Services. Visual Messaging Signs were installed to notify of road closures leading up to the start of the project. On the dismantle weekend, we used a Portaboom for road closure on Pulteney Street, and traffic management extended to North Terrace, Grenfell and Frome Streets. 40 hours over one weekend The plan was for works to be conducted continuously for 40 hours over the weekend. Workzone supplied 20 traffic controllers and 8 vehicles running 2 shifts over the duration of the project. The project went very smoothly, was completed early with no problems or delays, and our clients were extremely happy with the way that the whole project was conducted. Workzone Traffic Control appreciates the ongoing relationship we have with Maxcon Constructions. We’ve moved to new premises at 12 Circuit Drive Hendon, just up the road from our old depot. New bigger offices We had been at our old Workzone offices since 2012 and although they’d served us well in the earlier stages of our business, we’d well and truly outgrown them. Moving isn’t much fun, but we’re now settled in and every single member of our team is rapt with our bigger, better offices. The open plan design of the office means communication between all of our teams is much easier so we can ensure the best possible outcomes for our clients, even faster and more smoothly. Bigger depot for more trucks As well as bigger offices, we also have a bigger depot for more trucks. Which of course meant that we could go out and buy some new ones, which we’d wanted to do for a while now. We’ve added 5 new trucks to our fleet — Four our standard Hino 300 616 short IFS and the fifth one is a larger 617 Medium with a custom tray to fit a tailgate lifter to the side of the chassis for our Port A Booms, Dave from CMI Hino does an awesome job sorting out the trucks, our racks from Willunga South Engineering, Signage Craig and his team at Roadside, arrow boards, beacons and tracking by Steve and the team at Koan Solutions — to make sure we can manage the increasing volume of projects coming our way. New fitouts and new signage on each new truck means that we have the latest innovations in traffic management onboard, so we can keep your site safe, and your productivity at a maximum.New Premises, New Trucks
