TBH’s Role

TBH was initially engaged by CATCON to prepare the contract programme for the civil works of the Prominent Hill Mine project. 

The contract programme included the procurement and construction of the project, as well as handover dates for ongoing commencement of the structural, mechanical and electrical works of the project. 

TBH provided the following services on the project: 

• Review and interpretation of all contract documentation
• Development of a contract programme for the client

CATCON used the programme as a practical management tool enabling it to successfully achieve all Contract handover dates.
