LESSONS LEARNED
The information recorded to date has been used to identify areas where the design teams, contractor and reserve
can improve for future builds at Karingani. Key areas include:

• Further reduce the reliance on concrete as a construction material due to
the negative environmental impacts of cement manufacturing, aggregate
extraction and delivery to site of heavy materials.

• Continue to improve waste management to target 90% recycling rate

• Develop opportunities to formalise in-house construction worker training
programmes to increase the number of local managers and skilled workers.

• Expand the Women in Construction program.

• Continue refining and expanding the capabilities of digital tracking software
and expand into greater reserve operations.

• Identify more local business opportunities to support construction and
operations and design an approach to track positive economic impact.
• Monitor resource extraction practices of private and public quarries
and work with owners and operators to implement appropriate land
rehabilitation practices.
