2 environment & energy cheese manufacturing facility Burnie, Tasmania

3 Cheese manufacturing facility Client: Location: Scope: Burnie, Tasmania Detailed design and project management s $120 million redevelopment of its Burnie cheese manufacturing operation aimed to double the factory s capacity from 11,000 to 22,000 tonnes per annum. All project team members used sustainable thinking to ensure the design considered the whole of life environmental, social and financial costs of the plant. The following sustainable features were incorporated into the facility. When pitt&sherry began the commission, the previous building design had led to a quantity surveying estimate of approximately $50 million, which was some $20 million above the available budget. Designing a building to the required budget challenged the client s previously held concept of how a manufacturing facility should be developed and (among other things) how cheese could be conveyed. The net result was a decrease in areas required for manufacturing equipment and storage, and a building that used the natural fall of the site to its advantage. Noise mitigation to prevent adverse impacts on neighbouring residences. Innovative use and design of hardstand and landscaped areas to accommodate the imbalance of cut and fill material generated from site earthworks. Technical specifications for the refrigeration plant that focused on energy efficiency and system redundancy requirements as key drivers. Urban and landscape design that reduce the impact of the development on the surrounding community. A comprehensive review of all available lighting technologies and different commercial offerings. Environment & energy pitt&sherry s expertise ranges from examination of energy efficiency opportunities for specific production processes to assessment of the benefits of switching energy sources. We provide a holistic approach to each process assessment, delivering a thorough evaluation of initiatives from a profit and payback perspective, and looking at aspects such as potential new products, waste streams and grade yield from existing processing. Our environmental services division complements this expertise by identifying and managing a project s environmental risks and uses this experience to integrate environmental and sustainability initiatives within a project. We undertake strategic planning, environmental impact assessments, and carbon footprint and natural resource management. Our capability in this area also includes: Environmental baseline and monitoring studies Rehabilitation and closure plans Materials and energy balances Cleaner production and eco efficiency Water and wastewater management Waste management identification of profitable and/or superior waste reuse Monitoring and assessment of changes.

4 facility design J Boag brewhouse Launceston, Tasmania

5 New brewhouse Client: Location: Scope: J Boag & Son Launceston, Tasmania Detailed design full services pitt&sherry was commissioned by J Boag & Son to provide project management and detailed design services for a $23 million building and infrastructure expansion of their Launceston brewery, which is located within a heritage significant precinct. The project team was responsible for all relevant planning and permitting, management of the building design process (including liaison between all stakeholders), and all contract management from tendering through to administration. Crucial to the success of the project were regular client liaison and reporting; integration of OEM designed equipment with the building design, and effective use of existing site infrastructure; a robust and effective tender process; and timely completion of the civil infrastructure components of the works. The project team s ability to design a building that could be constructed while equipment was being installed, enabled us to meet the client s tight project delivery timeline. The brewhouse was completed in 18 months and adds capacity for around five and a half million extra cases of beer product, much of which is for the Australian domestic market. Facility design pitt&sherry works closely with food and beverage clients to assess opportunities for the development of greenfields and existing manufacturing facilities. We provide business case studies and risk and scenario analysis, generate concept designs, and coordinate the design processes while working handin hand with clients on all facets of project management, from program and cost to tender management, to contract administration and construction supervision and support. Our designs incorporate the requirements of the following disciplines in facility development. Roads, pavement and drainage infrastructure Structural analysis and design Hydraulic reticulation design Mechanical services, including critical hygiene HVAC systems Electrical design Fire services. pitt&sherry prepares drawings, specifications and tender documents, and manages the tender process, including the review of tenders for compliance with the documentation and specifications.

6 services design MGC milk processing facility Laverton, Victoria

7 Milk processing facility Client: Location: Scope: Murray Goulburn Co operative Laverton, Melbourne Detailed design full services pitt&sherry was engaged by Murray Goulburn Co operative (MGC) to undertake the design and documentation for new dairy plant in Laverton, Victoria, and Penrith, New South Wales, and project manage their construction. The project brief required a sustainable, flexible design that could be constructed on both the Victorian and New South Wales sites with minimal changes. pitt&sherry s scope of work included conceptual and detailed design for building and services, through to final documentation for all engineering disciplines, as well as all construction project management. Services design works undertaken included: Stormwater engineering Heating and ventilation Hydraulic engineering Fire services Electrical engineering (LV and HV) Lighting design Services design Chilled water design Authority service coordination: power, water, gas, stormwater Trade waste design. The design of the building services component of the project was coordinated using REVIT software, which develops virtual 3 D walk through models before construction, thus mitigating risk while optimising project construction times. Services design Whether it is for the upgrade of an existing facility, or for the creation of a new development, pitt&sherry can coordinate, design and provide detailed documentation of all building services, including electrical, mechanical, critical hygiene HVAC, fire and hydraulics. Our knowledge and understanding of building design criteria and manufacturing processes enables us to manage complex and seemingly conflicting agendas. Collaboration with the client, builder and architect promotes joint development and integration of building services infrastructure with manufacturing processes. In addition, our clients in the food and beverage industry often require identification of deficiencies and restrictions that may hinder the expansion of their sites. Our team provides site audits of industrial service capacities, including steam, electrical, fire, compressed air, water, gas and drainage. pitt&sherry can develop consolidated composite site plans of the services, buildings and property titles to identify and rectify inconsistencies, discrepancies and omissions.

8 site redevelopment TDP milk production facility Smithton, Tasmania

9 Milk production facility Client: Location: Scope: Tasmanian Dairy Products Smithton, Tasmania Detailed design full services pitt&sherry was commissioned by Tasmanian Dairy Products (TDP) to undertake concept design, engineering works, site selection and initial planning works for an $80 million milk production facility to be located on an existing operating sawmill site at Smithton, in north west Tasmania. pitt&sherry realised several advantages that suggested the existing saw mill site be used. These included: Using pre existing high voltage power supply and water supply to the facility Using existing buildings and lay down areas for construction during the harsh north west coast winter Converting the existing warehouse to powder storage, saving significant capital Arranging the concept design to make use of the existing site road network, again saving significant capital. Project involvement was broadened to installation project management, building and infrastructure design, contract and site management, and securing all environmental and planning approvals. The use of innovative methods and scheduling to manage the building schedule, and planning and environmental approvals, enabled pitt&sherry to meet the client s rigorous 14 month design and development timeline. Site redevelopment pitt&sherry provides process, civil infrastructure and a range of spatial services to develop concepts and project definition for the redevelopment and relocation of food and beverage facilities. This can include total site relocation, relocation of specific manufacturing lines or conversion of existing facilities into world class food and beverage manufacturing sites. Site investigations are conducted to verify and document the current infrastructure constraints for integration of the relocated facility's process, manufacturing packaging, storage and distribution processes. Feasibility studies and concept designs focus on cost effective use of existing site infrastructure, thereby providing the ability to maximise returns on any investment. The full service approach to facility relocation includes selective demolition of existing building and industrial infrastructure and taking into account hazardous material abatement, through to complete demolition of redundant sites, asset disposal and subdivision development services. pitt&sherry has the experience to identify and remove significant risks including building, manufacturing, quality and time from the project s concept.
