Elizabeth Quay is such an exciting project in its diversity of the works we carry out, and the opportunities it offers our team throughout the various stages. Works range from dredging and working in the river, to major concrete and civil works, to form a world class urban landscape environment surrounding a central water inlet. It is not very often that such diversity exists on a project and under the watchful
eye of 15,000 people in the surrounding offices and buildings overlooking the site.

Terminal 2, Perth Airport, WA Broad Construction Services (WA) has formally reached Practical Completion of the much anticipated $120 million Domestic Terminal - Terminal 2 (T2) at Perth Airport. The new single storey building is the first new terminal to be built at Perth Airport in 26 years and is nearly twice the size of the existing Terminal 3. Taking 500,000 hours to complete, the fast-tracked project opened on time on Saturday, 2 March 2013, less than 18 months after Broad commenced construction in September 2011. Terminal 2 provides first class facilities and an enhanced customer experience for regional passengers and flights operating within Western Australia. General Manager – Building WA, Peter Moore said, “Terminal 2 will stand as a landmark achievement for Broad and we are extremely proud to be involved in Perth Airport’s ongoing transformation.” As part of the $750 million upgrade of facilities at Perth Airport, Broad completed the first phase of works to refurbish the current International Terminal (T1) in October 2011, and is currently completing further works at Terminal 1 with the international arrivals expansion and forecourt roads. These projects highlight Broad’s ability to successfully deliver while adhering to strict security protocols in and around airports. “Broad’s award of further developments at Perth Airport demonstrates our expertise and understanding of working within live environments, abiding with security measures and handling of sensitive projects,” said Peter Moore.

1,900 tonnes of steel and 8,000 cubic metres of concrete were used to construct the 20,000 sqm Terminal 2 and 10,000 sqm surrounding forecourt and landscaping areas. The new terminal also includes a number of environmental features such as 2,000 cubic metres rainwater harvesting system and re-use, and underground delivery of ventilation to reduce energy costs.

Completed Projects
Practical Completion late March 2013. This project is an important addition to both community and state with more than 15,000 children admitted to the hospital each year. Children and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) will also play an important role in the provision of specialised mental health assessment and treatment for children and young people at risk of significant harm or who have experienced abuse or neglect.

Broadview _ issue 21
The thoughtful choice of colour scheme, play areas in waiting rooms and bold wall motifs, will all help to support children and adolescents on their road to recovery and better health. The five storey wing is located next to the existing building and incorporates the new CAMHS building, including an inpatient unit, paediatric rehabilitation facility, short stay peri-operative facility, treatment and consultation areas and a family facility for parents and carers. The contract was ’Construct Only’ with the exception of the facade, which was designed and constructed by Broad. The external facade design is unique because it has a perceived depth from inside and outside, has no projecting horizontal features that might encourage roosting birds, and is low maintenance by use of pre-finished materials such as vitrapanel.
High quality interior finishes.
Bright and colourful reception and waiting area.

The Gleam Team, Milingimbi
New Future Alliance
Six women from Milingimbi now have the opportunity for employment after completing a five week cleaning operations course. The course was put together by New Future Alliance (NFA) and National Joblink (NJL) who coordinated and administered the training for what is now known as ‘The Gleam Team’. The cleaning team are now employed by NFA to do the final cleans on the NPARIH refurbished and new houses before the residents move back in. The Gleam Team are also providing laundry services at the construction camp. Workers leave their laundry in a bag outside their room and after the pre-start meeting at six o’clock each morning, the ladies collect all the laundry bags and put them in the washing machines before heading off to clean the first house for the day. The washed clothes are put into the dryers and after lunch the clean clothes are folded, put back into the bags, and returned to the worker’s rooms.
NFA Community Engagement Officer, Harry Scott said, “They are very proud of their newly acquired skills, achieved over a five week course mixing theory and practical learning”. Donna Chamberlin, NJL trainer was terrific, going above her call of duty to ensure that everyone completed the course and assisted with lunches and general mentoring. “They have completed eleven units in the nationally accredited course and have picked up skills in identifying cleaning products and their applications, how to clean wet areas, kitchens, glass, risks and hazards in the workplace and how to identify, protect and clean fittings and fixtures,” said Donna. Rachel Downey, NFA’s Site Administrator assisted with lunches making sure that the trainee’s Personal Protective Equipment and other resources were available. Rachel is now the Gleam Team’s supervisor and mentor. The course was funded by ITEC Employment and Community Enterprises Australia (CEA), as part of the My Pathway group and the Department of Business, NT
14 women and one male completed the course giving them the skills which will help them to find employment with local employers in the community.

The trainees loved the concept, the scope of work was documented by Ian Felsinger and from that point the trainees took ownership of the project and completed it with minimal supervision from the trainers. The Clean Team from Numbulwar did the final clean and tidied up the yard. The project was completed over seven days in conjunction with off-the-job training components of their traineeship. The fifteen men and six women are extremely proud of their achievement and have resulted in higher levels of self esteem, demonstrated by the confidence and enthusiasm displayed on the job.
