Contractor Coordination

Coordinated tasks with other contractors for smooth execution, keeping the individual work packages aligned so each component came together on programme.

Safety and Regulatory Compliance

Ensured compliance with industry safety regulations across the fuel installation, canopy works and retail areas throughout the construction period.

System Checks and Operational Launch

Conducted thorough system checks before operational launch, confirming that pumps, tanks and retail systems were ready for trade.

Managing the programme under real site constraints

The Retail Fuel Station Project Makhado development ran over 8 months and was completed on 9 May 2024, with the programme managed around the fuel installation, retail shop and signage packages.

Each workstream had to be sequenced against the work of other contractors on site so that pumps, tanks, shop fit-out and signage could be completed without holding up the opening.

Thorough system checks were carried out before the station was handed over for operational launch.
