Working with Roadtek on Flood Emergent Works

Ricey — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 21:50:28 +0000

RPMS are currently providing Project Management Services to Roadtek’s Downs South West Region. Building on a relationship over the past 12 months, RPMS now manages Crews in Dirranbandi and Mungindi assisting Roadtek to deliver Flood Emergent Works, and long term restoration Projects.

This is a good business model whereby RPMS provides Project Management, and Roadtek provide the resources (Labour, Plant and Equipment) to get the job done. This relationship ensures residents in Western Areas are getting their Roads repaired to a high standard with Quality Supervision.

There is a vast difference in Project Delivery between Rural and City based Projects. Day in day out we see City Engineers coming out to the bush and stuffing things up. They just don’t have rural experience, and are continually wasting money when the jobs can be completed far more expediently using a practical approach.

Works commence with Balonne Shire Council

Ricey — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 21:19:09 +0000

RPMS is excited to have been approached by Balonne Shire Council to complete Flood Damage Inspections and Claim Preparation following the recent and signficant flood events in the area. This is a massive task, and we are very pleased to be involved.

RPMS close proximity to St George and our focus on Regional Projects (RPMS only works in Rural and Regional Areas) assured that they have selected the right Consulting Firm for the job. RPMS provide a down to earth solution for Council’s with Flood Damage Issues, delivered in a timely manner and a real focus on getting things done.

RPMS has based a team of Engineering, Supervisory, and Administration in the area over coming months and look forward to working with Balonne Shire Council to get their assets back to safe and serviceable condition.

Works Continuing with Goondiwindi Regional Council

Ricey — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 00:35:37 +0000

RPMS is continuing to provide assistance in 2012 to Goondiwindi Regional Council as they rebuild roads following flood events in 2010 and 2011. RPMS Site Supervisor Lowell Tillack is managing a Crew of Council selected subcontractors to deliver these works, and to date the model has been quite successful. Works to date have included road patching, pavement widening, replacement of concrete pipes and the reconstruction of bridge approaches.

Lowell is engaged by Goondiwindi Regional Council (Inglewood Office) on an hourly rate as a Supervisor and manages the resources allocated by the Council. This is a great business model which allows Council to utilise local subcontractors, whilst still having Professional Supervision for the duration of the Projects. All RPMS Projects are delivered under Certified Quality and Safety Management Systems, and RPMS holds Traffic Management Registration with the Department of Main Roads.
