Overview
Challenge
The Robinson River Health Clinic project required structured coordination and adaptability in a remote setting. Delivering works in a live healthcare environment meant balancing stakeholder expectations while managing seasonal disruptions and shared site access.
What we faced:
Remote Delivery Pressure: Working in a remote community required careful planning to meet deadlines despite unpredictable conditions.
Stakeholder Alignment: Coordinating between the Client and Principal Contractor demanded clear communication and scheduling discipline.
On-Site Coordination: Sharing the site with other contractors introduced risks of delays, scheduling conflicts, and safety concerns.
Seasonal Access Disruptions: Wet-season rains often made roads impassable and disrupted flights, delaying crews and material delivery.
Solution
For Robinson River Health Clinic, we delivered a resilient and well-coordinated installation. We maintained structured communication with stakeholders, implemented clear work schedules and supervision, and planned around seasonal disruptions with flexible scheduling, alternative transport options, and well-stocked onsite materials.
How We Delivered:
Flexible Scheduling: We developed adaptable work programs with built-in contingencies, allowing us to respond to changing conditions and maintain progress in remote environments.
Collaborative Planning: We aligned expectations through proactive communication and detailed scheduling with all stakeholders.
Coordinated Execution: Regular site meetings and clear work schedules ensured smooth collaboration with other contractors.
Weather-Ready Delivery: We monitored conditions, stocked materials onsite, and arranged alternative transport to keep the project moving.
"Owning a Tennant Creek property and living interstate doesn’t have to be stressful or a concern when you have the right people on your team. We use Irish and the beautiful Sarah from Barkly Plumbing to manage our plumbing maintenance needs and we are extremely satisfied with the results."
Together, with community, government and industry, we’re building the water and gas infrastructure the Northern Territory depends on.
