Solution

UniSA’s Pridham Hall solar installation involved working on a multi-level new construction site in Adelaide’s CBD. The installation, for the University of South Australia, was co-ordinated and controlled by Mossops Constructions + Interiors. The project had a number of unique challenges ranging from the style of roof and the architectural requirements through to the number of trades on the build site each day.

With this installation, we were required to liaise with the Primary contractors Electricians, Engineers, Metal fabricators, Safety personnel, and Architects. We were involved in weekly builders meetings to ensure all trades were able to work in the same space in an orderly manner. In addition, there was a strong requirement for site induction and compliance.
