Our Experience

Darlington InterchangeDepartment of Planning, Transport and InfrastructureThe Darlington Upgrade Project is a critical piece of infrastructure that will form a key part of Adelaide’s North South Corridor. The development of the corridor, a nonstop 78-kilometre major transport route between Gawler in the north of Adelaide and Old Noarlunga in the south, is a direct result of a government strategic objective to reduce Adelaide’s urban road congestion.

This project is a key part of the delivery of the corridor and involves the design and construction of an upgrade of approximately 3.3 kilometres of Main South Road, including a non-stop motorway and the construction of eight bridges, which will result in the removal of five sets of traffic lights.

Scott Schiphorst from ProManage fulfilled the role of Project Lead to provide leadership and management of the project delivery team. This role included accountability for management and administration of the various contracts and associated deliverables including the interface between the Client’s team and Head Contractor.

Through Scott’s experience, he was able to provide strategic advice and direction to the project team regarding commercial challenges in addition to providing the day to day leadership and interaction with managing various project challenges and opportunities.

U City (Pitt Street Redevelopment)Uniting CommunitiesProManage was engaged to lead the client team, managing a complex multi-use development, which involved design and construction of an 20-level multi-function tower block that would become the Adelaide CBD’s premier social and community services hub with a mixture of retail, community and cultural spaces, office accommodation, specialist living accommodation for seniors and individuals living with a disability, commercial facilities and public access areas.

The project’s key objective was to deliver a place for people, a community, as well as a place to live or work, while providing a hub for the one hundred social services that Uniting Communities deliver. Supporting State and Federal Government initiatives, the facility sees the area revitalised with direct access to the market precinct through a rejuvenated laneway and public use foyer.

A key element of this project was the significant transformation of the Uniting Communities business as it prepared to occupy and manage this significant structure, and the multiplicity of social and commercial for purpose facilities it would offer to the South Australian community.

Gary Neave was the client’s Program Executive responsible for the management of the delivery of this project. He was a member of the client executive team, providing business leadership to support the relocation, reconfiguration and cultural shift to transition Uniting Communities and their many stakeholders to their new home. ProManage also had a lead role in the concept development, delivery methodology and providing a governance framework that supported the Board, the business and build team. He was also responsible for driving many of the key initiatives that made this building the standout facility that it is.

Greenhouse Facility DevelopmentSundrop Farms

ProManage was engaged to manage all elements of this complex multidisciplinary project based in Port Augusta in regional South Australia. The ProManage team, led by Josh Smith as Project Manager, successfully delivered the overall project including the management of construction and commissioning and system-wide integration and start-up from inception to operational handover.

ProManage supported Sundrop Farms in transitioning the business from a construction project to an operational facility and self-performed all greenhouse fit out works and activities. ProManage and Sundrop Farms were successful in delivering a world-first, highly complex, renewable energy project along-side a tier 1 EPC contractor (John Holland) in regional South Australia. This landmark project was completed on time and within budget.

The project scope included the development of twenty hectares of climate controlled, world class greenhouse infrastructure in addition to a 40 MW(th) concentrated solar thermal power plant delivering heat energy and electricity to the facility. The solar field comprises over 23,000 mirrors that track the sun and a 125m high tower and solar receiver unit. Greenhouse irrigation and cooling water is supplied from the adjacent Spencer Gulf with up to 1ML of seawater desalinated per day.

The project was highly innovative in delivering a world-first facility offering a significant reduction in carbon emissions and operating costs in comparison to conventional commercial scale greenhouses. The plant currently employs nearly two hundred people and provides widespread benefits to the local community, the horticultural industry and the environment.

Jacinth-Ambrosia Mine, South AustraliaIluka ResourcesProManage worked in collaboration with Iluka Resources to provide procurement planning, strategy development, tender and contract management and construction supervision to the Ambrosia Mine Move Project.

The Jacinth-Ambrosia operations encompasses mining and wet concentration activities with heavy mineral concentrate transported to the Narngulu mineral separation plant in Western Australia for final processing. The operation can produce up to approximately 1000 tonnes per hour of heavy mineral concentrate, which can produce up to approximately 300 kilo tonnes of zircon per annum. As the Jacinth deposit is nearing exhaustion, a second mining unit was established at the location of the Ambrosia deposit to commence mining operations.

ProManage worked with Iluka Resources to facilitate the required infrastructure upgrades to bring the Ambrosia deposit into mining while maintaining the ongoing working of their operating facility at Jacinth. ProManage provided contract and procurement services from the prefeasibility study through to infrastructure upgrades and relocation of the mining unit. Procurement planning, tendering management and contract administration and management were driven by ProManage resources, with construction supervision during the execution phase of the project.

Port Adelaide Brewery DevelopmentPirate Life (Carlton United Breweries)ProManage was engaged by Carlton United Breweries, to establish a managing contractor-type delivery model to develop the design and lead the planning and approvals, procurement, construction, WHS management and delivery of the overall project. This bespoke commercial scale craft brewery was delivered using local contractors ahead of the stretch target schedule and under budget. The Project scope comprised a commercial scale brewery with a footprint over 7500m2, a 1500m2 office re-fit in addition to an architecturally designed, 300-person hospitality venue.

With a brewhouse build time of less than 3 months and the first beer packaged in under 4 months the project has been recognised as the fastest built brewery in the history of global brewing giant AB-Inbev. It is estimated the delivery methodology contributed to cost savings between six and seven million dollars in capital.

To achieve project success in a very tight timeframe, we co-located our project team to site which enabled us to directly influence and manage the planning, design, procurement and construction activities in parallel. We delivered exceptional results across all project elements with full control over construction, contracts and WHS management for the duration of the project.

The project included a sophisticated Krone’s brewhouse, cellar, canning and packaging line, high pressure gas fired steam boilers, reverse osmosis and trade waste and ammonia/glycol chiller plants. We managed the interface with all approval bodies and authorities to deliver new water, sewer and gas connections in addition to an augmentation of the site power supply infrastructure.
