Recently the Taylor team at Darcy Road Public School had the pleasure of hosting a site tour for students from the Western Sydney University (WSU) Complex Building Projects Course, currently implemented by Taylor, and members of the Australian Institute of Building (AIB) Young Builders.
The tour began with a warm welcome from Fred Sedighi, Senior Project Manager, who provided a high-level summary of the Darcy Road project and the challenges the team has overcome. Fred also highlighted some of the additional safety initiatives implemented on-site, such as the “What Does Safety Mean to Me” initiative, which received positive feedback from the students and professors.
Following the introduction, Glenn Harris, Senior Site Manager, guided the visitors through the site, showcasing various innovative initiatives including the use of umbrella handles as reinforcement bars in lieu of bar caps and cast-in ferrules to manage silica dust. Glenn also shared insights into the planning process for temporary sheds and site access, addressing the challenges faced and solutions implemented.
Throughout the site walk, the Taylor team engaged with all guests, answering questions and providing further clarifications. The tour concluded with a lunch invitation from Fred, allowing guests to continue their discussions and network in a relaxed setting.
