Capacity

Coastal have a core team of on and offsite leadership, that are experienced in all areas of steelfixing & prefab.

Our project work force is carefully selected from a large data base of steelfixers who we have engaged on our other projects over 25 years. Our teams can be ramped up and down quickly to suit any project based on skill set and project suitability. We are constantly skilling our team up and have Steelfixers with crane, dogmen, forklift and first aid tickets.

Coastal’s on and off-site steelfixing teams are backed up by our General Manager- Mark Cummings, Operations Manager- David Kingston and Company Director- Mark (Jake) Jacobsen.


Prefab Facilities QLD & VIC

Coastal have prefab facilities in Narangba, QLD & Sunshine Nth ,VIC.

Narangba:

  • 8000sqm site
  • 3 x factories
  • 10t & 6.3t over head cranes
  • 2 separate admin office blocks
  • Large power supply
  • Forklifts
  • 4 MEP & Schnell pile cage machines
  • MEP Practica jig machine
  • All welding equipment
  • Easy access to M1

Cranes:

  • 1 x 75t Sany RT crane 2018
  • 1 x65t Grove RT crane 2015

Coastal’s prefab facility can be used as a project specific prefab hub with ample offices to cater for site engineers, reo schedulers etc. This becomes a one stop shop for the site prefab to onsite steelfixing.

For quick expansion requirements we have local agents that keep us up to date with all hardstand opportunities within our area. This enables us to prefab core components in our facility and store finished cages, walls, columns, beams etc offsite ready for when they are required onsite.


Recommendations

Based on our experience with over 30 years in the construction industry we have evolved into a more hybrid way of approaching any project, what can be pre-fabed offsite and what can be installed onsite. What are the advantages and disadvantages, does it suit the site requirements, form worker, cranage etc.

Utilising our admin offices, we would set up a project team that would look after prefab, reo supply, shop drawings, logistics, QA, onsite coordinating, sequencing and programming. This team would be made up of highly experienced reo schedulers, reo supplier logistics manager, site engineers and Coastal personnel.

With this team being at our premises in one location makes everyone accountable to deliver.

Depending on the reo design, we would take the approach of pre-fabing as much as possible offsite. This would include slab components, shear tie sets, beams, lig slices, wall starter sets, walls either partial or complete, columns etc.

With our team of steelfixers onsite we can plan by the hour of what and when a component is required. This will then minimise lost time onsite waiting for components or double handling components that have been delivered but not required. Prefab components can be pre-fabed and delivered as needed and not stored for months because of poor planning.

With a complete team approach, we can provide guidance and support to overcome anything that arises always ensuring the best possible outcome. Weekly planning and programming meetings are an essential tool to the project’s success and with the direct access of all stake holders within the team, any design & buildability issues can be addressed on the spot.
