Murray & Roberts Western Cape, a division of Murray & Roberts Construction, was named the overall winner in the Building Contractors category of Construction World’s Best Projects 2015 Awards for its work on Century City Square Project.
Jerome Govender, executive chairman of Murray & Roberts Construction, said: “Not only is this recognition important from an industry perspective, it also underpins the Murray & Roberts Construction focus on delivering excellence in terms of sustainable and cost effective construction methodologies and solutions as well as achieving great safety ratings,” he says.
This flagship development for the Rabie Property Group forms part of the burgeoning precinct on the N1, 10 km from the Cape Town CBD. Century City Square is pioneering a new 4-star mixed-use Green Building Council of South Africa rating.
The fast-track project comprises construction of five separate buildings, each with complexities of design, being constructed on a super basement within a confined working area, and according to Dave Heron, MD of Murray & Roberts Western Cape, requires innovative thinking in terms of risk management and operational logistics.
Murray & Roberts Western Cape received a Five Star Health & Safety rating on this project from the Western Cape Master Builders Association and was placed 1st in its category in the Western Cape Master Builders Association Regional Health and Safety Competition.
The site recently passed the 1 million man hours worked milestone without sustaining an LTI.
To advance skills and training to a wider segment of the market, Murray & Roberts Western Cape committed to recruiting new matriculants who wanted to spend a year in industry. This initiative, underpinned by a knowledge sharing philosophy, is the ‘Go for Gold’ programme in which learners spend time on notable Murray & Roberts projects.
