On Friday 10th September, Intract was presented with the Quality Award for August for our works on the Larrakeyah Defence Precinct Redevelopment Project.
The Quality Recognition Award goes to the subcontractor who has shown a proactive approach to ensure that a smooth transition of documentation is accepted by all parties involved in the commissioning and handover process, and work towards achieving “Notice of Completion”.
The Larrakeyah Defence Precinct comprises of Larrakeyah Barracks and HMAS Coonawarra and is a strategically important Base servicing the Royal Australian Navy (RAN), Army, and Joint Task Force units in the Darwin Area.
Our works onsite comprise of the installation, commissioning, and handover of the:
- Bulk Earthworks and Civil Infrastructure packages of the Defence Fuel Installation – Maritime (DFI-M)
- Intake Switching Station 2 (ISS2)
- Decanting – Senior Sailors Carpark Facilities.
The team also manages the commissioning and handover process for the Information Communication Technology Core Node (ICTCN) with McMahon Services NT. This project reached Notice of Completion on Wednesday 15th September 2021.
The complexity of this specific project includes a combination of Defence, power water authority, design, and security specifications. Considering this, the normal integration of construction sequencing required a great deal of trade and design consultant communication, often redesigning elements that would result in site-wide adjacent packages, being “re-specified” to adopt with the changes.
This is a major accomplishment for the NT team, as they have paved the way in demonstrating our capabilities.
The group of projects are expected to be completed in 2022.
