The Shotover Wastewater Treatment Plant Upgrade Project team has set a new regional record for the use of Ecrete. To date, 2247m³ fly ash concrete mix has been used in the build, with a further 120m³ to be poured in the coming months. This is currently the largest amount of low-carbon concrete (or Ecrete) used on a project in Central Otago. The collaboration between supplier Allied Concrete and McConnell Dowell enabled an increase in the fly ash percentage from 30% in design to 35% for construction. Allied Concrete shared: "We are pleased to see the team actively working to reduce the embodied carbon of their project so significantly with the volume of Ecrete they have always used, and what is still yet to come in 2025." Sustainability Advisor Virginia H. was also pleased to see " Queenstown Lakes District Council , Beca , Allied Concrete , and McConnell Dowell, collaborating to prioritise the use of a Supplementary Cementitious Material (SCM). The suggested SCM percentage in design (30%) was increased by a further 5% come construction time, this deserves to be celebrated by all involved." "McConnell Dowell is incredibly proud to deliver the new MLE tank with outstanding environmental results. What is equally impressive is the quality of the finish. The team has done a remarkable job, the tank passed its drop test at the first attempt ahead of schedule, an excellent result all round," says Project Manager Joseph Hare .

Congratulations to Yvonne McNicholas , our sustainability superstar who received a commendation at the NAWIC VICTORIA Awards for Excellence 2024 in the Sustainability Award category! 🌱⭐ Yvonne was instrumental in developing and implementing the Bee Hotels initiative on the Epping Road Upgrade (ERU). The initiative leaves a lasting legacy for Wollert Secondary College and has played an important role in teaching students (and the wider community) all about sustainability and the environment around us. You can read more about this amazing initiative here: https://lnkd.in/gdSvMJJF Well done to Yvonne on this fantastic achievement, and congratulations to our other McConnell Dowell finalists in Victoria - Rebecca Neeson , Brodie Cannata , Tatyana Procak and Christy Harvey 👏 #CreativeConstruction #Victoria #Sustainability

🌅 🐦 Only the very early birds, and our hardworking substructure team, were on deck in the wee hours of Wednesday to witness the New Bridgewater Bridge’s final pier pour. 🌉 This major milestone marks the completion of the new bridge’s substructure, and required perseverance and motivation to achieve. Our team poured the 21st and final set of piers, ending a 15-month pier construction campaign, which included about 1200 tonnes of reinforcement steel and 4700m³ of concrete. Pier completion has improved access for those completing the segment erection and finishing activities, taking us a significant step closer to getting traffic on the new bridge in mid 2025. 📅 See more in our highlights video: https://lnkd.in/gnWSKcDP #CreativeConstruction #Tasmania #infrastructure

We had a great day at the Construction Procurement Summit in Sydney Leon Kantor . Honoured to deliver the keynote and join an excellent line up of speakers and to participate in the inaugural Procurement Construction conference in Australia. As we believe at McConnell Dowell , the professionalisation of Procurement is crucial for the successful delivery of projects. Thanks Charlotte Payne CIPS - The Chartered Institute of Procurement & Supply for moderating the event.

🛤 We've reached a significant milestone on the Inland Rail Wangaratta Works. This achievement is the result of extensive planning and preparation behind the scenes, ensuring everything runs smoothly - Well done to everyone involved! #CreativeConstruction #infrastructure #rail #RegionalVictoria

More on Mardie! The 2.4km journey out to the jetty head is a memorable experience. The in-house temporary works design which supports the self-performed fabrication, installation and operation of the canti-traveler system is a testament to our creative construction brand. #CreativeConstruction #WA #Sustainability

We're proud to support BCI Minerals with specialist marine construction services for the Mardie Salt & Potash Project in Western Australia’s stunning Pilbara region. Our scope includes the design and construction of critical Port and Marine Structures, encompassing Structural, Mechanical & Piping systems, along with commissioning. This infrastructure is essential for BCI Minerals as they prepare to export high-quality salt from the Mardie mine site. We’ve made significant progress, completing the 2.4km approach jetty utilising our innovative in-house canti-traveller and self-propelled transporter. Notably, we achieved an impressive milestone by constructing 100 meters of the jetty within just 10 days at peak efficiency. As we look ahead to the upcoming barge construction works, we remain committed to addressing the challenges this project presents. With a focus on preserving the rich and diverse marine environment, we have taken proactive steps to minimize impacts on local fauna. This includes the engagement of permanent third-party marine fauna observers, implementation and reporting of our underwater noise management procedures, and design optimization that has successfully reduced ground disturbance by 11% during piling works. Mick Slocombe, McConnell Dowell's Western and South Australia General Manager, shared his perspective on the project: “We are not only focused on delivering high-quality infrastructure but also on ensuring that our operations respect and protect the local marine ecosystem. Our team is dedicated to achieving this balance as we advance through the project’s phases.” We eagerly anticipate the next exciting stages of the Mardie Salt & Potash Project! 🌊⚒️ #CreativeConstruction #MardieProject #BCIMinerals #Sustainability

💧 KEEPING THE WATER FLOWING: INNOVATION WITHOUT INTERRUPTION 💧 We're thrilled to announce that together with SA Water , we’ve been shortlisted as a finalist in the 2024 Australian Water Association Water Awards South Australia in the Infrastructure Project Innovation - Regional category. This recognition highlights our innovative work on the DT-01 Victor Harbor Road Duplication - Myponga Trunk Main Replacement project. The Myponga Trunk Main Replacement Project set a new standard in the water industry. Tasked with relocating a 900 millimetre diameter trunk water main, the McConnell Dowell Diona Joint Venture (MDJV) partnered with SA Water to deliver this project with minimal disruption to the local community. Traditionally, such operations require shutting down and draining the main, requiring a temporary water outage. However, in collaboration with design partner WSP , the SA Water and MDJV teams engineered an innovative solution that used line stops and live tapping technology—methods typically used in the oil and gas sectors but applied here for the first time in South Australia on an asset of this size. The successful installation involved a Horizontal Directional Drill under the highway and testing of two new High-density polyethylene (HDPE) 710 millimetre diameter trunk mains, whilst the existing main remained online. Live taps were performed to seamlessly integrate the new mains, allowing the old main to be decommissioned. This innovative approach resulted in several benefits: - no water supply disruptions for residents, businesses or other critical services - reduced water wastage where possible - confined works to a 150-metre section - minimised open trench construction—preserving the cultural and environmental value of the land and limiting traffic disruptions on a key arterial road. This project exemplifies how techniques from other industries can be adapted to tackle the complex challenges of the water sector, achieving outstanding outcomes for SA Water, the community and the broader industry. Award winners will be announced in November! Good luck to the team in SA! #WaterIndustry #Innovation #Sustainability #Infrastructure #MDJV
