Kane Constructions constructed this 28-storey tower, with basement and roof plant. Located on a busy CBD corner, the project interfaced with high vehicular and pedestrian traffic, narrow streets, commercial businesses, people’s homes and other major building sites. All these factors combined with the small footprint and vertical build presented safety challenges in every aspect of design and construction. The entire site management team undertook daily walks to proactively monitor safety on-site and allow workers to provide feedback on any potential issues, which allowed for a positive and transparent safety culture to evolve over the life of the project. Subcontractors were encouraged to undertake daily site toolboxes to ensure all workers were up to date with site conditions and communicate drop zones.
