24.01.2022 Day 15 - TCH COVID-19 ED - Two weeks ago the ACT Government made the announcement to build on this site, 14 days later the temporary Emergency Department is really starting to take shape.

24.01.2022 Day 12 - TCH COVID-19 ED - Crane on-site yesterday morning for the roof sheeting. The whole team is making excellent progress with internal wall linings and the commencement of high level services in the afternoon. Music: https://www.bensound.com

24.01.2022 Day 20 - TCH COVID-19 ED - 3 weeks in! The roof is now complete, guttering is being installed and inside the mechanical system is going in, the electrical is being wired up and flooring going down.

23.01.2022 Want some tips and tricks to looking great at 93? Our building's secret weapon is Meetu Sharma Saxena, conservation architect Lately, Meetu has been bravely a...scending the Senate chamber scaffolding to work on the 'render repair project'. Armed with a tiny hammer and John Smith Murdoch's original, hand-drawn plans from the early 1920s, Meetu investigates every tiny crack in the render, figuring out exactly why they've appeared. Meetu lightly taps on the wall, then stops to listen... a 'ringing' tone means the crack is superficial, a 'flat' tone means there are more significant repairs to be done. It's a process that Meetu (unsurprisingly) admits is 'tedious'! We're grateful for it, though - thanks to Meetu, the team at SQC Architecture, Manteena and our Capital Projects and Heritage teams, we'll be looking good at 94, 95, 96 and beyond. We'll be adding more #bts footage on our stories if you're interested - check it out before it disappears!

23.01.2022 Day 10 - TCH COVID-19 ED - Decking chasing joists, wall frames chasing decking, trusses chasing wall frames. Tomorrow we’ll get to see battens chasing roof trusses!! #workflowsequencingtoatee

22.01.2022 Manteena has a long history of building memorials in the National Capitalnotably the New Zealand Memorial, Australian Peacekeeping Memorial, Australian National Korean War Memorial and the Australian Service Nurses National Memorial (plus many more) along Anzac Parade. Our latest memorial is an upgrade to the Australian Merchant Navy Memorial which is located near the National Carillon on the shores of Lake Burley Griffin. The works included the addition of a new walkway and extending the existing podium to make way for the new pre-cast panels along with the bronze coated commemorative plaques. Other works were new pavers and the replacement of the flagpole to improve the raising and lowering system to make it more accessible and secure.

20.01.2022 Did you know that Manteena offers a number of scholarships at UC? ------------------------------ For a number of years Manteena has partnered with the University of Canberra to offer a several scholarships to students studying the Bachelor of Building & Construction Management or other UC courses related to the property and construction industry. Last year we offered a scholarship to Alex. He received the Built Environment Diversity and Inclusion Scholarship in semester 1 of ...2019 and since then the scholarship has allowed him to focus on his studies and improve his GPA. We heard from Alex a few weeks ago and he was happy to share some of his final design studio project for architecture with us. The brief was to transform a space in civic into a public library with various different requirements such as an outdoor space, bookshop, cafe and roof terrace. Check out some of his final designs. We wish Alex well in the coming year as he seeks to further opportunities in gaining experience in his selected field.

19.01.2022 Manteena is a proud Bronze Pledge Partner of Soldier On. Soldier On is a not-for-profit organisation which enables veterans and their families to thrive. We’ve signed The Soldier On Pledge to show our commitment to enabling veterans and their families to thrive, by providing support and employment opportunities, in collaboration with the Soldier On Pathways Program.

18.01.2022 Manteena BUSINESS AS USUAL ----------------------------------------------- Until advised otherwise by the authorities, Manteena remains open, as we continue to build quality commercial, residential and security infrastructure projects for our clients. The health & safety of our staff (and families), clients, consultants, subcontractors, visitors and supply chain are now more than ever paramount.... We’ve implemented a number of changes to help minimise the spread of COVID-19. These include exercising best practice personal hygiene, extra cleaning regimes around the office and worksites, minimising face-to-face contact by running ‘on-line’ meetings, staggering lunch times on sites to limit the number of personnel in the lunch sheds at any one time, as well as adhering to the social distancing protocols. In addition, some staff are already working from home. We will continue to monitor the directives from federal and local governments and adjust our plans accordingly as the situation evolves. Please look after yourselves and others.

16.01.2022 TCH Temporary ED --------------------------- Manteena is ready and up for the challenge as we are contracted by Aspen Medical to construct the temporary COVID-19 Emergency Department (ED) on Garran Oval, adjacent to the Canberra Hospital. The facility is intended to be fully self-sufficient by way of public and staff car parking and amenities. No sooner had the Minister for Health, Rachel Stephen-Smith, made the ACT Government’s announcement for the facility last Thursday mor...ningthe site fencing was erected, and workers had drilled first pile foundations and made the first concrete pours. Workers on site are practising safe social distancing and personal hygiene by abiding by the government’s new enforcements to stop the spread of COVID-19. The temporary facility is expected to be operational in May.

15.01.2022 Manteena COVID-19 Update 26/3/20 ----------------------------------------------------- Our office and sites are open, however with the continuing social distancing measures in place, visits to our Fyshwick office are by appointment only.
