The team out at Ashfield are continuing to power through the work to get the job done. Check out some of the photos out on site:

Lovely work with this dual pump set up installation to boost the pressure to Building A & B at Ashfield.

Another quality finish with this Fire, Water & Gas pipe installation.

Glentworth House is one of Ashfield’s largest mansions and was built in 1886. The building is now the centre-piece of the Cardinal Freeman Retirement Village. As part of this project, Bluewater installed the Dual Pressure Reduction Valves as seen in the pictures, supplying water to Glentworth House on the Ashfield site.

Some thrilling daredevil stuff here as the tower crane drops our excavator into a tight spot at the Ashfield site.

Drummoyne - Tempo:

WELL AND TRULY OUT OF THE GROUND NOW! Work is certainly ramping up at the Drummoyne Tempo site. Lorenzo and his crew are putting in the hours to getthe job done and it’s all starting to take shape from these recent pictures….. Well done guys!!

THE LAUGHING KOOKABURRA….

Anyone driving along Victoria Road from the city could not have missed the new Laughing Kookaburra mural that now graces the North-west face of the building.

The mural is the handiwork of Dutch artist, Amok Island, who has developed such a fascination with Australian fauna and flora that he has now formed a base inFremantle, Western Australia.

Amok Island draws his inspiration from the scientific illustrations that early naturalist’s once used for identification purposes. The theme of natural exploration and conservation is a strong and constant undercurrent of his artistic practice.

Bursting with beautiful colours, the warm cream and shades of browns contrast with the accents of blue and remind passer-bys of the rich, natural beauty of the Drummoyne environment.

SAFETY NEWS Tool Box Talks

At Bluewater, our Tool Box Talks are one of the very effective methods used to refresh workers' knowledge, cover last minute safety checks, and exchange information with the experienced workers. Toolbox Talks are also intended to facilitate health and safety discussions on the job site and promote our organization’s safety culture.

Our boys at Ashfield recently made a meal of one of our tool box talks….

Sun Safety

Summer is not over yet and we are still experiencing some hot days out there reaching the high 30’s. Just a reminder to ensure you are keeping sun safety a priority…also ensure you are drinking plenty of water to keep up your hydration.

In order to ensure your exposure is reduced wear sunscreen provided, wear long sleeve shirts under your high vis, wear safety sunglasses, wear the hard hat neck shade/halo/visors (you can request these directly from the Bluewater Head Office).

Your safety is our #1 priority, but you also have to remember to SLIP, SLOP, SLAP, SEEK, SLIDE often
