Tropical Cyclone Alfred / Preparations for South East Queensland

With the threat of Tropical Cyclone Alfred tracking towards SEQ and forecast to make landfall from Thursday onwards, it is extremely important that we prepare our projects the best we can.

If all projects between Bundaberg and Byron Bay could today start the process of storm / cyclone preparations. 

This should be completed and documented using the Inspections > Site Shut Down - Cyclone Preparation Checklist F-084-C tab located on HammerTech.

Please note, any project that has an erected tower crane will also need to ensure they have updated documented advice from their crane engineer outlining the correct weathervane radius, this should be specific to your project. 

Hutchies' owned and managed cranes can coordinate this through Bradley Beck, all third party supplied cranes will need to actioned with their nominated representatives.

Any questions please call Jimmy Andersen on 0400 220 381 to discuss.

Digital POs & WOs

You can now issue Purchase Orders (POs) and Works Orders (WOs) electronically.

These tools have been built into Hutchies' Appian platform. This cuts down on duplication and helps track purchases better.

POs & WOs kick off our transition to digital contracts and simplified vendor engagement. We'll share more on the other new tools shortly
