Responsible for many iconic projects around Australia, CC Group ensures its excavators are equipped with the robust and efficient attachments from Attach2.
From hospitals to aquatic centres – CC Group has done it all, while fostering talent and investing in the workforce for the future.
The company, formerly known as Christopher Contracting, has had its finger in a lot of pies all over Australia, with offices in the Gold Coast, Brisbane, Perth, Katherine and Hobart.
It specialises in residential, commercial and industrial, civil and hydraulic installations, with staff levels between 150 and 200 employees each year – including licensed plumbers, operators, apprentices and labourers.
With more than 25 years of extensive experience, CC Group has worked on some of Queensland’s most iconic projects, including the Commonwealth Games Athletes Village, Dreamworld’s White Water World, and the Queensland Children’s Hospital.
The business has a strong focus on community and a culture of celebrating the wins, having won categories at the Plumbing and Gas Industry Awards for both the Major Contractor and Environmental Plumber of the Year in 2016.
CC Group regularly puts up staff for these events, fostering talent and celebrating excellence in the sector. It invests in staff by directly employing plumbing and civil construction tradesmen and speciality personnel on each project – ensuring full control of timelines and project success.
The company has its own apprenticeship program, and prides itself on retaining staff, having even produced a second generation of plumbers with a number of father and son teams.
CC Groups Plumbing Division (CC P&D) project manager Jake Tooma tells us more about what the company is working on at the moment, and how he helps keep things running smoothly with so many wheels spinning at once.
“Generally my role consists of managing costs, controlling scope, identifying hazards and mitigating risks and sequencing and programming our works whilst setting realistic tasks and motivating our site team to achieve the targets,” he said.
“Effective communication with our managing contractor and other site personnel is a key aspect.”
As he speaks, the team is at the new Coomera Hospital project, part of the Queensland State Government’s expansion program.
“We’ve been engaged by the managing contractor Multiplex to carry out the in-ground site-wide hydraulic infrastructure throughout this entire health precinct,” Jake said.
This is the inground infrastructure package, which includes sanitary waste, water and fire services.
Having a wide range of earth moving machinery and specialised trenching equipment, with excavators ranging from five to 47 tonnes, CC Group certainly knows its way around machines.
It has been using Attach2 products and is impressed with not only the performance of the attachments, but the after-sales service team as well.
CC Group has just recently purchased 16 new Hitachi excavators, ranging from ZX55 up to ZX360 models… and all of them came specced up with Attach2 Performance Packages.
The ZX55 and ZX135 excavators were fitted with Heli-Tilt Coupler and Mud Bucket Performance packages, and the ZX360 diggers were fitted with the Sure-Grip Coupler and Elite-Tilt Bucket Performance packs.
As well as the performance packs which included GP Buckets, CC Group also purchased a range or rippers, compaction wheels and sieve buckets for these machines.
“Working with Attach2 has been nothing short of brilliant,” Jake said.
“Talking to all of our operators on site and reviewing the products that we’ve got in use here on site, we can’t fault it.
“I would recommend anyone looking to purchase new or upgrade their current equipment to definitely look into Attach2, their products are great and their service is second to none.”
Committed to establishing long term relationships with clients, CC Group – and more directly CC Group Plumbing and Drainage – will continue to uphold their strong reputation into the future, with many more exciting projects on the horizon.
It is also continually upskilling the workforce, running programs in plant operation, safety and construction skills, investing in a well-equipped workforce for the future.
