Alterations to an existing manufacturing facility and construction of a new road

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Alterations to an existing manufacturing facility to allow for a smaller building footprint and sub-division of land at a later stage. The existing factory was separated into two buildings, with a new access road constructed along with a car park and 2 dock loading yards. Major services were relocated.

The project is divided into three separable portions:

  • Separable Portion A included for internal demolition to allow the relocation of the facility, equipment, offices, etc for subsequent construction works to occur.
  • Separable Portions B & C includes structural strengthening works required to separate the building into two; construction of the new road, car park and reception area; the removal of the existing roof over the new road; new loading dock and yard; and slip lane construction.

OVERCOMING CHALLENGES

The facility was operational throughout the construction period while services were made redundant, relocated and new services put in place.

INNOVATIONS

  • Portion A ($15m) completed a week ahead of schedule
  • Demolition using a helicopter to remove valuable equipment
