Client: Questacon

Duration: 38.5 Months
SHAPE were engaged by the Department of Industry, Science and Resources (DISR) to design, plan, procure and deliver a series of base building upgrades and rectification works at the Questacon Building as a part of their Building Services Review (BSR) project. We are well versed at meeting the detailed demands of individual clients & projects to ensure the delivery method is tailored to the wants & needs of the project, clients & stakeholders.
We were required to support DISR across all aspects of the project to address all findings from the BSR, the ultimate aim of which is to eliminate or mitigate each of the identified risks, bringing them within acceptable tolerance levels for DISR.
The base building upgrade works included significant scope to remediate defects in structural elements to the podium level of the building. These works included rectification and modifications to the building line, water features, structural connections, façade and waterproofing. All works were undertaken whilst the building remained operational.
