The Roof at Mater Dei has been completed and a small ceremony was held, where Sr Maureen Jamieson and Sr Isabel Courtney presented Certificates of Appreciation to most of the work team who had rebuilt the roof.
Eng Peter Edmeades and Trevor Heath were commended for the simplified and improved roof design that will result in greater fire protection and improved maintenance access.
Peter Goosen was one of the first people at the scene of the fire and did not leave the site until the fire and it safety problems were fully settled in the early hours of Saturday morning. He was there offering his support at the initiating meeting of the rebuild committee at 7.30am on Saturday morning. He and his church team commenced work straight after the fire, and continued in support of a team assigned by Sullivans Engineering. Peter helped keep up a very high standard of accuracy and safety and continued to assist and direct much of the operations.
The workforce was soon joined by an experienced construction foreman, Joseph Dube, who had supervised several projects, like bridges, factories, an elevated water tower and plenty of structural steel and roofing. On the day that Peter Edmeades and John Sullivan were discussing the need for full-time supervision, John Sullivan was suddenly hooted at by his ex-foreman in his pickup truck at a traffic light. He had not seen him for as much as 2 years and there he was out of the blue! He was invited to take on this important task and accepted without hesitation.
N Stipinovich helped by making the trusses and their labour co-operative, Nansi-Sipho, provided hoisting plus bricklayers and plasterers.
The work was completed accident-free and in a very satisfactory time. As the last certificates were being given the brooding clouds began to rain and steady rain was still falling on Friday morning.
