RMG: CAPTIVATING & COMPREHENSIVE CONSTRUCTION CONTENT
PROJECT ONE
RMG adopted an off-site modular construction approach for the Jackson School redevelopment (a government special school catering to students with mild intellectual disabilities). Eighteen individual modules were transported to site, craned into place and installed in a near-complete state.
OUR PROJECT BRIEF
We were requested to capture comprehensive aerial footage, time-lapse sequences and high-quality stills of the installation process, focusing on the removal of old classrooms and subsequent placement of modular buildings.
Crane-mounted cameras, time lapse and aerial drones were utilised to capture multiple angles of footage.
PROJECT CONSIDERATIONS
- Implement safety protocols for drone flights specifically due to the close proximity to crane activities.
- Coordinate closely with on-site personnel to ensure safety and stability of all mounted camera equipment.
- Closely monitory weather conditions for impact on scheduling of drone activities.
PROJECT TWO:
RMG project managed the redevelopment of the Mercy Junortoun Sporting Precinct at Catherine McAuley College in Regional Victoria.
OUR PROJECT BRIEF
We were asked to capture aerial footage and stills of the construction site, recreating a similar flight path to the original (pre-construction) footage provided prior.
We wanted minimal people on site, flying the drone both inside and outside the gymnasium, therefore the project took place out of hours, making the allowance for most trades to be ceased operation for the day.
PROJECT CONSIDERATIONS
- Due to the close proximity of the site to a controlled airspace, compliance with aviation regulations was essential to ensure the safety of airspace users and the success of the project.
- Manage the process of securing approval from CASA for drone flights over the construction site and ensure the flight path did not interfere with other air traffic in the controlled airspace.
- Collaborate with the team and establish a communication protocol between the drone operators, on-site personnel, and CASA to address any concerns or provide updates as needed.
PROJECT THREE:
RMG project managed to replace higher-risk ACP-PE cladding at a Doncaster apartment building. This building was one of more than 40 projects RMG has successfully managed for the Victorian Government’s world-leading cladding rectification program.
OUR PROJECT BRIEF
We were required to capture stunning aerial drone footage and high-quality stills showcasing the Doncaster Residential Apartment Building. The goal was to obtain captivating imagery from the best possible angles, leveraging rooftop access to provide a unique and comprehensive perspective.
PROJECT CONSIDERATIONS
- Secured permission from Westfield Doncaster management to access their rooftop, presenting an unparalleled opportunity to capture dynamic aerial visuals of the property.
- Conduct thorough site assessments to identify possible hazards and mitigate potential risks.
- Adhering to rules and guidelines, a qualified and certified drone operator was required for all aerial activities.
- Utilise industry certificates and qualifications required to work with subcontractors and hoist lift operators.
