ADG in resources
In the mining, resources and energy industries, it is not just the mine facilities that matter.
The ADG difference brings a smarter approach to civil construction and design and construct services than most engineering rms dare. We consider every sites individual constraints as opportunities. We then leverage the best of our technology and all of our experience to ensure our clients get maximum value from their engineering and construction dollars. We have worked with development and construction clients since our inception more than ten years ago and know when you develop or construct major facilities or property, every day counts. We understand the importance of efcient engineering, the cost and availability of materials and the changing market forces that our clients are designing for, and building in. It is this approach that keep our clients coming back, time and time again. Across the resources industry, ADG is experienced in the complex staging of workforce accommodation, warehousing, support facilities and infrastructure that is required to deliver from pit to port, and involves just as much engineering as the mines and conveyors themselves. This is where our expertise lies. Our multi-disciplinary team works closely with civil and structural contractors delivering mine facilities, providing innovative engineering skills and readily available expertise. Our team is working hard on the supporting facilities and accomodation around major mines and LNG in Australias fastest growing regions of Mackay, Gladstone, the Surat Basin, Perth and the Pilbara. Our engineering underpins the construction of infrastructure, modular accommodation facilities, ofce and industrial facilities, conveyors and large warehousing needed by mine sites. With Safety Plus as one of our core values, our team put safety rst; managing risks on all projects carefully every day, on every site.

Virtual Design
Validating and enhancing design and risk through digital prototyping.
We provide digital modeling of facilities and buildings of all scales and sizes. Our BIM (Building Information Modeling) design process allows clients to understand the way (Civil, Structural, Mechanical, Electrical and Hydraulic departments) combine with architectural designs to deliver a nished asset. We then integrate this with the contractor scope and budget to offer the most cost effective construction options. We have a specialist BIM team skilled in Revit, Navisworks, 3DS Max, and a range of virtual reality and analysis technologies, which enable us to understand the design of every component of the building. Our systems allow us to simulate and report construction and installation scenarios for planning and onsite feedback. 3D modelling also provides an excellent tool for engaging stakeholders at all stages of the project to understand the planned construction in greater detail prior to approvals, and during the pricing and construction process. Our technology means greater accuracy in pricing and development, leading to more certainty and less commercial risk at construction stage. The ADG difference brings aspects of this technology to all of our projects. We know how BIM works in our business and have developed a detailed process for collaborating with other service providers. We are leaders in our eld and we pride ourselves on leading the technical design for whole design and construction teams. Our Virtual Design services include: Develop BIM execution plans Interference checking and constructability issues Scheduling integration and quantity take-off (4D & Construction Sequence Methodology) Site logistics planning and construction management models Value to clients and contractors through reduced paperwork and faster QA/OHS issues/defects logging and approvals onsite Barcoding tools to enable OHS compliance on site plant tracking and maintenance procedures Data capture plan for the client in the form of; as built 3D models, 2D drawings and O&M data into a cohesive and searchable system.
Civil Construction
Our engineering and civil construction team works with construction and resources companies to design and deliver the civil infrastructure around mining and resources facilities. Our design techniques integrate the environmental engineering requirements and planning knowledge needed to drive a co-ordinated approach to civil construction. Our design team provides cost effective, environmentally sensitive, practical solutions by identifying the key design constraints and converting them into opportunities.

Year 2012
ADG provided the civil works and design of road infrastructure for the Mirvac APLNG laydown facility rollout across the Miles QLD area. The project was split into five stages, each approximately 7 hectares long with major and minor road networks associated. The geotechnical conditions and lack of site stability presented engineering challenges, and the topography of the land, which was very flat made drainage an important issue for management. Each challenge was tackled with due care. The project was designed and will be a significant milestone for the APLNG project when constructed ensuring a smooth transition into the operational phase.

Bromelton is an approximately 100 hectare approximately 14km west of Beaudesert. It is on the rail link, and as such is zoned by EDQ as an industrial hub for heavy industry. The target tenants in this area are organisations needing rail transport either north to the port of Brisbane, or south to the southern states. It is the only area of its kind in south east Queensland where organisations can acquire very large scale parcels of land within close proximity to a resource base and transport infrastructure. ADG have been involved in the engineering design and documentation of the water and sewer for the local water authority QUU, including the conveyance design of water from Beaudesert to Bromelton. We have also been involved in carrying out the engineering design input for the infrastructure agreement for QUU to enter with any future land holder in this structure plan. Planning with DTMR included the infrastructure plan required for the area. During the initial phase of the project, ADG undertook a hydraulic investigation of the development to address the existing infrastructure and downstream properties were not adversely affected from the proposed development. These objectives are achieved through the use of detention storage measures designed to incorporate the proposed land use and achieve the desired flow controls. Each stage of the development needed to be designed to ensure there are no flood impacts to the surrounding properties. A large scale 1D and 2D hydraulic model was created for both the existing and developed case using more than 200 1D links/nodes and 30,000 2D surface points. ADG are very proud to be involved in this project, as it is the largest industrial project of its kind in the state.

STRUCTURAL MODULAR
Application of modular systems to open plan buildings while maintaining robustness during manufacture
Year 2013
Year 2012
The Cajuput Fly-in, Fly-out Accommodation project provided for the design and construct of two short term accommodation blocks. Each block consisted of three levels of accommodation with common use areas. ADG were engaged for structural, civil and hydraulic engineering services. The remote project location in regional Western Australia required the use of modular construction methods to remain economically viable. To compete with overseas modular unit manufacturers ADG carried out extensive R&D including full scale testing to devise an innovative structural module design. This was Hutchinson Builders flagship project in Western Australia. Despite many challenges and site constraints, ADG delivered an efficient design demonstrative of the teams innovative thinking.
The Caval Ridge and Daunia developments support coal mining operations in the Bowen Basin, Central Queensland, for BMA. The projects provide the administration and amenities hubs for each site, including facilities for, (5250sqm each site): Administration Maintenance Bathhouse Emergency response Go Line Gatehouse Muster.
ADG worked with Hutchinson Builders and Heise Architects to develop modular framing systems tailored to the provision of large open space buildings. The buildings maintained the quality and efficiencies, in construction and transport, achieved by modular solutions while exceeding the client performance specifications. Works further considered differing ground conditions and foundation requirements at each site. Fast track design submissions and approvals were achieved through collaboration with the project team and the EPCM manager Bechtel.

Year 2012
The Groote Eylandt Shed project includes a large extension to an existing heavy vehicle workshop and a series of new stores, workshops and hardstands to service ultra-class mining trucks and other heavy machinery as a part of an existing mining facility. The site is part of the Gemco Facility in Groote Eylandt which lies about 630km south-east of Darwin in the Gulf of Carpentaria. ADG and Hutchinson Builders are currently working on the project together, with ADG engaged to optimise the designs for several slabs on grade, and steel framed structured to help overcome the limited construction in resources and supply issues encountered on the island. Through the use of post-tensioning, ADG were able to economise the depths of the slabs and consequently save on both concrete and reinforcement costs, despite the high wind speed locations of the site and restrictions on steel member lengths and transport issues. ADG were also able to provide a saving in structural steel tonnage through rigorous design and practical detailing. The project is currently under construction and is due to be completed in late 2012. ADG were able to economise the depths of the slabs and consequently save on both concrete and reinforcement costs, despite the high wind speed location.
Situated in Perths Southern Rivers Region, the Lakey Street Development is located in an area which is currently undergoing major changes. The region will be transformed to a modern community with a large residential area, shops, schools, parks and gardens. Build on an old contaminated land area and very close to the water table, there were design challenges for the project. But out cost efficient design and construction methodology led to an affordable housing development opportunities. We were involved in the ground treatment and disposal process during the site decontamination stage, as well as civil design, and general works project management for the client.

Goodna Platforms
Goodna, Queensland, Australia Structural design for the Goodna Stormwater Treatment Plant
Year 2012
ADG provided the design for environmentally-sensitive temporary accommodation facilities to house a construction workforce of over 2000 in the Gladstone region. We provided structural, civil, hydraulic and building services engineering for several construction camps servicing the LNG facilities proposed for Curtis Island. Located off the coast of Gladstone, Queensland, the temporary accommodation facilities are designed to house the majority of a non-local construction workforce, working in conjunction with accommodation facilities on the mainland. A significant amount of coordination was required to address the master planned engineering services for the island, including assimilation into the stormwater network. We proposed improvements to the master plan to improve upon the original concept design in terms of accessibility and construction cost for our clients section of the project. ADG provided real innovative design that allowed for a faster construction program by specifying site specific products suitable for remote work and a smaller workforce. The construction camps provide not only accommodation but also recreation and health facilities for construction workers and their families, including a pool, gym, outdoor sports court and administration buildings. An extremely tight delivery and construction schedule required the day to day involvement of our leadership team, as well as production of tender drawings and negotiations. The scale of the project required detailed negotiation with the Project Managers and Bechtel in conjunction with our client, ATCO.
Year 2011
ADG undertook the design and documentation of a number of steel framed catwalks and viewline platforms for this project at the Goodna Stormwater Treatment Plant. ADG provided 3D analysis of the framing to allow an irregular support system which allowed free access to the spillage pipework passing through below. Our design and specialised analysis ensured this project was delivered both on budget and on time.
