CDPG recently attended the inaugural John Holland Women in Building Function and are proudly supporting and will continue to support women in the industry in future years. We are aware that more is required to attract women to the trades and we are working with the state industry associations on programs such as Victorias’ Women in Plumbing Program to help women realise there are many career pathsintheconstructionindustry.

Last month our Perth Team attended the Master Plumbers and Gas Fitters awards night. We would like to congratulate them on their achievement, being awarded , Employer of the Year in WA, and NUDJ for theIndigenousemploymentandInnovationaward. This year’s success, as in prior years, is due to the dedication and focus of our wonderful employees and the strong ongoing relationships with our suppliers, clientsandpartners.

Our growth journey will continue during 2023, making for exciting times. We look forward to working with our clients on current and upcoming projects to create successfuloutcomeswithinthebuildingindustry.

JUSTIN PITTS | STATE MANAGER

443 QUEEN ST.

With a little dribble kick up the road we land at 443 Queen St. A 47 storey project which has been going for currently 5 years. To Steve and his team, hang in there, you are doing a commendable job in very trying circumstances, we appreciate the work you are doing including the major achievement in obtaining the fire service certification. This is no small feat and should be recognisedasawin!

NEW PERFORMING ARTS CENTRE

Launching a booming torpedo punt over the Brisbane River we land at the New Performing Arts Venue (NPAV). This project is running behind schedule on structure, severely impacting what the services trades can do. Project Manager Travis Richards has been managing this project for over 2 years now and we still only have bits and pieces of basement work and ongoing temps. Having said that, once structure is complete, we will be busyandthecompletedbuildingwillbeashowstopper!!

CAIRNS CONVENTION CENTRE

Cairns Convention Centre, it’s been a big last 6 months onsitewithplentyofhighlevelservicesbeinginstalledin the extra high floors. Hopefully by Easter 2023 the project will be just about completed. It’s been a challenge for Luke Dimieri and the boys on site and we appreciatetheworkyouhaveinstalledtodate.

Albert Street Station Boxes

ROMA ST

A drop punt around the corner we have officially secured the hydraulic contract to the Roma St Station and are primed to turn the Albert St temps package into the official hydraulics package as well in the very near future. This job is a structural beast and a logistical/programming nightmare. At this stage as it starts to go from the civil underground tunnelling contract to the construction phase of the contract where structural and services tradesstarttocomeonboard. C&Dareon2ofthe5stationprecinctsthat istheCrossRiverRail(CRR)project.

At Roma St we have permanent temps being installed as well as sewer pump and de-water pump stations being plumbed in. Weareaimingtohaveamachineinthefirst week of December to start inground water/fire and stormwater services. With a Diesel Williams handball away at Albert St we have the temp services ongoing, continually changing almost daily with the complexity and nature of the build and the extremely tight working footprint. We have risingseweranddewatermainspumpingup from 50m below ground and have a team readytoinstalltempfireandwaterservices in the station cavern, which is 30m underground, linking the 2 station boxes together. Special mention to Jezza and Thommo for their efforts so far on this project, there has been some big days and nights completed this year and it’s because of the can do attitude that has helped put usintheircurrentpositionwearein.
