Project Overview
Fencepac was engaged by the Acciona Georgiou Joint Venture to deliver the design, supply, and construction of noise walls as part of the Coomera Connector Stage 1 project. The works formed a critical component of a major transport infrastructure corridor, requiring coordination across multiple stakeholders, strict compliance standards, and integration with concurrent civil works.
01
The Constraint
- ▸Complex stakeholder and design interface — multiple external stakeholders and design interfaces, resulting in challenges with drawing revisions, approval processes, and information flow to site
- ▸Quality and defect management — significant effort required to manage panel defects, finishing quality, and compliance with specifications, with late-stage defect identification leading to increased rectification labour
- ▸Large-scale variations including bridge works managed across multiple work fronts, with documentation and accessibility of updated drawings presenting on-site challenges
02
Our Approach
How this job was delivered — the bridge from constraint to result.
- ▸Hold design, supply, and construction in one Fencepac package so Acciona Georgiou Joint Venture drawing revisions and stakeholder approvals reached site as a single information flow, not competing sets.
- ▸Run multiple work fronts — including bridge-related variations — with Contracts Admin Sonya Robards keeping updated drawings accessible to crews as the transport corridor moved.
- ▸Treat panel finishing and specification compliance as a live hold-point process: 267 audits, inspections, and pre-starts on this job, so defects were managed before they became late-stage rectification.
- ▸Keep the JV relationship open and solutions-focused so large-scale variations could be absorbed without losing control of safety or program.
- ▸Site leadership under Project Manager James Carruthers and Site Foreman Shane Brabbin, with Estimator Tony Pfeiffer on the package, to hold a consistent safety culture across Fencepac crews and subcontractors.
- ▸Build local capability inside this 24-month Coomera Connector Stage 1 delivery: 469 apprentice hours and 1,666 Indigenous participation hours on this package.
