SUMMARY:Aligning temporary and permanent works design with construction
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nThis session brings together design and construction perspectives to examine the critical relationship between construction methods\, temporary works and permanent works design. Drawing on recent project experience\, experts from SYSTRA and BG&E will demonstrate how construction sequencing\, staging and temporary works solutions can materially influence permanent works outcomes\, often driving redesign\, program change or cost escalation if not considered early. \n\n\nThe session reinforces the value of collaborative\, constructability-led thinking across the project lifecycle. The speakers will explore practical lessons\, peer knowledge sharing and application to day-to-day engineering decision-making. Through real examples\, attendees will explore how early and integrated consideration of construction methods and temporary works can streamline delivery\, manage risk and improve safety\, cost and schedule performance. \nThe discussion will highlight opportunities for engineers to work more effectively across disciplines\, delivering projects that are not only technically sound but also buildable\, efficient and sustainable. \nThis event is produced by the ATS. This event is supported by the Construction Community of Practice. \nLearning outcomes\nIn this event\, you will: \n\nrecognise how construction sequencing\, staging and temporary works decisions directly influence permanent works design outcomes\nassess the impacts of external constraints\, such as site access and plant selection\, on design and construction solutions\napply balanced planning approaches that integrate design intent with construction methodology to reduce risk and rework\nstrengthen collaboration between designers and constructors to improve constructability\, safety and project delivery performance.\n\nProgram\nIn person \n\n5.30 pm AEDT: Guest arrivals and registrations\n6.00 pm AEDT: Presentation begins\n6.45 pm AEDT: Q/A begins\n7.00 pm AEDT: Networking begins\n7.30 pm AEDT: Event close\n\nOnline \n\n6.00 pm AEDT: Presentation begins\n7.00 pm AEDT: Presentation ends\n\nAbout the speakers\n\n\n\n\nChris Gaskell\nTechnical Director Design & Build (Tunnels)\, Systra\nBiography\nChris Gaskell is an accomplished chartered professional engineer with broad leadership and design experience in the development and delivery of tunnels and underground infrastructure projects in Australia\, the UK and Singapore. After commencing his professional career on the UK-France Euro Tunnel project\, Chris has over 35 years of experience in design and construction organisations\, providing technical consultancy services to a diverse client base\, including government delivery agencies\, investors\, and road and rail operators. With experience covering the conception\, operation\, and renewal phases of the project lifecycle\, he has a broad background in technical leadership and project development\, with a wide knowledge base that spans complex\, multidisciplinary design and delivery environments. He’s passionate about optimising design processes and true value engineering\, where the desired outcomes could be delivered for less.
