Construction Period

2018 Q4 – 2023 Q4

The project involves construction of a world-class theatre complex that comprises a 1,450-seat lyric theatre, a 600-seat medium theatre and a 270-seat studio theatre, as well as numerous dance and rehearsal studios, restaurants, offices, and an information and ticketing centre.

Gammon will adopt an ‘Integrated Digital Project Delivery’ approach on the contract, for which centralised and shared Building Information Modelling (BIM) will form a key element. In addition to a 3D digital model, a 4D model will be completed to create a simulation of the project to optimise and refine construction methodology. Innovative methods of as-built data capture such as drone surveys, laser scans and 3D photos linked to plan drawings will also be deployed.

Gammon also plans to use modularisation, off-site manufacture and standardisation to maximise consistency, efficiency, precision and quality, as well as reduce the number of operations taking place on-site for improved safety.
