Works consisted of the refurbishment of six labs, multiple specialised storage rooms, specialised distillation areas and preparation rooms. Services works took place over five levels, with the main fit out works being carried out across two levels.
The services works were the most complex part of the fitout, as the labs called for a specialised fume extraction system, high purity laboratory gases, specialised chemical resistant electrical fittings, fire suppression systems, emergency hydraulic wash points & fire protection.
The remainder of the building was still in occupation by ADFA throughout the whole construction process, meaning formal disruptions were kept to a minimum. Refurbishing a 40-year-old building brought some complexities in bringing items up to current codes & standards. However, SHAPE & Aurecon were able to successfully overcome any issues that had arisen.
We acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the land, sea, and skies. We’re grateful to those who have cared for, nurtured, and protected Country for future generations, and we pay our respects to Elders past, present, and emerging.
