Walkthrough Completion Video | NEXTDC D1 Darwin Data Centre Join our Project Manager, Lara Kaehne, and NEXTDC's Project Director, Paul Tomsic, for a tour of the D1 Darwin Data Centre—the first of its kind in the Northern Territory and our inaugural interstate project. This state-of-the-art facility boasts 15 data halls and a rack capacity of 1,500. From our ECI appointment in 2022, we embraced modular construction, streamlining the process by prefabricating off-site and installing on-site, allowing us to deliver within just 10 months. With robust 37-tonne generators providing critical backup in case of power failure, this centre is built for resilience. Watch the video to explore the condensers, data halls, and more! https://lnkd.in/gzf6ka5D #Construction #TheKapitolWay #constructionwork #Melbourne #civilengineering #architecture #constructionequipment #projectmanagement #constructionlife #KapitolGroup #constructioncompany #building #Engineering #ConstructionIndustry #ConstructionManagement #constructionsite

Waterproof Basement | High St Preston In residential construction, basement waterproofing directly impacts the comfort and safety of future residents. Poor waterproofing can lead to costly repairs, disruptions, and long-term issues. That’s why, at our High St project, we made sure to get it right by partnering with CETCO using their proven Bentoseal and Volclay Waterproofing System. This combo delivers a solid hydraulic barrier, ensuring reliable protection where it’s needed most. Curious about how we tackled this challenge? Watch the video to hear from Ben Cox, our Project Coordinator, and CETCO rep Terry White as they break down our approach and why it’s a game-changer for residential builds. #KapitolGroup #constructionequipment #civilengineering #Engineering #projectmanagement #ConstructionIndustry #Melbourne #TheKapitolWay #constructionsite #ConstructionManagement #constructionwork #constructioncompany #architecture #constructionlife #Construction #building

Australian HR Awards 2024 We were honoured to be a finalist for the 'Best Graduate Development Program Award' at the Australian HR Awards 2024. This nomination reflects our commitment to shaping the future leaders of construction through a program that combines hands-on experience, comprehensive training, and a strong support network. Led by our People and Culture team, with support from our Operations Manager, Construction Managers, and Project Managers, the program ensures our grads have the best tools and methodologies at their disposal. Our 2-year journey immerses graduates in seven key areas: safety, quality, planning & programming, site supervision, estimating, project coordination, and design. This competency matrix, paired with our focus on work-life balance and industry exposure, prepares them for a thriving career in construction. As graduate Kai Abela puts it, “The service space on a data centre, while being a big challenge, has been so interesting and the growth and learning I have achieved in such a short time has been so awesome. In addition, the graduate program is great. I really enjoy the factory tours, site visits, and the grad retreat. Finally, the network and collaboration on these jobs; I have met so many great people and have made so many valuable connections not only internal to the team, but external with sub-contractors and consultants.” Thank you to all who make our Graduate Program a standout in the industry, and congratulations to all the nominees.

RMIT Site Visit | High St Preston This week, we welcomed students from RMIT University to tour our largest residential construction project to date - the 18-storey High St Preston build-to-rent tower. This initiative is crucial in bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical experience, fostering a deeper understanding of high-rise and basement construction techniques. During the site visit, students explored various aspects of the live construction environment, including the erection of formwork, steel-fixing, and post-tension installation on the live deck, giving them a firsthand look at the complexities and safety considerations of these processes. Callum Coghill, Assistant Project Manager, led the students around the site, noting, "I loved giving the next generation of construction students the chance to witness the day-to-day activities of a project in the heart of structure." These visits not only provide students with a practical understanding of high-rise construction and our innovative approaches but also allow our team to gain valuable perspectives from the next generation of construction professionals. #ConstructionIndustry #KapitolGroup #civilengineering #projectmanagement #Construction #TheKapitolWay #ConstructionManagement #constructionlife #constructionwork #Melbourne #constructioncompany #Engineering #building #architecture #constructionsite #constructionequipment

St Columba's College | Discovering the Construction Industry with Kapitol Group We recently welcomed Year 10 students from St Columba's College, Essendon to one of our data centre projects for a week-long, project-based learning experience. The students explored our site, asked questions, and gained fresh perspectives on the built environment. An engaging panel discussion with our team highlighted the variety of career paths within the industry, inspiring many who hadn't previously considered construction as a future option. Throughout the week, the students worked in groups to solve real-world challenges they observed on-site, such as safety, sustainability, or workplace culture. Last year, they impressed us with creative solutions like PPE designed specifically for women—a need often overlooked in our field. At Kapitol, we're committed to inspiring the next generation, especially young women, to see themselves in construction. We hope to see many of these students shaping the industry's future.

Virtual Reality | Construction in Action Our digital engineering team recently took project visualisation to a new level by trialling a virtual reality walkthrough for our client to experience through VR. Using Twin-motion and integrating 3D models from our consultants and trade partners, we crafted an immersive experience that allowed our client to envision the entire project—not only before stepping on site but even before construction is complete! Virtual reality (VR) technology enables a fully immersive 3D environment, giving clients a chance to "walk through" their projects in a lifelike setting. This approach provides a fresh perspective, especially for clients without a construction background, by helping them experience the design, layout, and spatial aspects of the build in a way traditional plans simply can’t convey. The VR experience allows for clients to also raise items of concern well in advance of seeing the final product, thereby ensuring what they have envisioned is brought to life. Watch the video to see how our VR trials are transforming the client experience and opening up new possibilities. https://lnkd.in/guh7BmMY #Melbourne #constructioncompany #projectmanagement #constructionwork #Engineering #constructionequipment #constructionlife #civilengineering #building #ConstructionIndustry #TheKapitolWay #constructionsite #KapitolGroup #architecture #ConstructionManagement #Construction
