Kapitol were working in a live environment, accommodating the 24-hour operations of important institutions including Melbourne Metro and V/Line. Additionally, Kapitol discovered asbestos at the early stages of the construction phase which would require the adoption of several methodologies as well as a complex asbestos management plan for the removal to be completed safely.
Our Approach
Effective stakeholder coordination and communication was paramount and effectively demonstrated by the Kapitol team to overcome the challenges of working in a live environment. Demolition was required for the internal ground floor atrium and external areas of Level 8. These works were performed in and around live services and live infrastructure and required meticulous execution to maintain public safety and minimise disruption.
Furthermore, Kapitol assisted in the rationalisation of the design to work around the tenancies surrounding the atrium to prevent any disruption and maintain ongoing operations.
Working with a hygienist and asbestos removalist, alongside the client, we developed a number of methodologies in different areas of the site to ensure the asbestos management plan went smoothly and was completed safely.
