Point has been engaged by the Department of Defence for the provision of Project Management and Contract Administration Delivery Services for the MUD and CTA Project RAAF Base Amberley.

Given the available Commonwealth Land at RAAF Base Amberley, it has been the subject of expansion with new Army Units being based in this location. Additionally, the base has recently upgraded incorporating new HQ buildings, Medical facilities, Gymnasium and Living In Accomodation.

In addition to these facilities, new government initiatives for Air Force Cadets, Gap Year students and the lack of suitable facilities for the reserve 23 Squadron, have seen the requirement for a multi user depot emerge.

Aviation Rescue and Fire Fighting Facility Project

John — Mon, 13 Sep 2010 02:53:52 +0000

Point was engaged by Airservices Australia to provide superintendent services for a Design and Construct Contract to build an Aviation Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) Facility at Sunshine Coast Airport (Maroochydore). The Point team worked on the project for the 10 month duration reviewing contractor progress, providing advice to the client and resolving issues as they developed.

The Sunshine Coast Airport Fire Station Project is the first example of a prototype design which not only allows the ARFF staff to work in an optimum environment, which is highly functional, compliant and modern, it will also influence the design of all future airport fire stations in Australia.

Due to the strict regulatory requirements placed on ARFF, Point had to address many risks and challenges while still managing to deliver this project ahead of schedule and within budget.
