WINNING PROJECTS MAGAZINE

PROJECT OF THE YEAR

The $5.6million refurbishment of the Medical Imaging department at Canberra Hospital was a huge undertaking, exceptionally managed and delivered

by Shaw Building Group.

The first phase saw the transformation of an outdoor courtyard into a lead-lined scanning suite, control room, cannula bay, and holding bay. The second phase involved revamping the existing MRI department, replacing the scanner, adding new magnetic and RF shielding, and creating new control rooms, reception area, plant room, and change rooms. They skilfully handled the technical challenges by using a large structural steel landing platform to remove the existing MRI machine and employing a crane lift to deliver the new machine.

CORD CIVIL ACT Healthy Waterways Stage 2 - TG032A - Stormwater Drain Naturalisation Calwell Project

Cord Civil expertly managed this project to re-naturalise and restore stormwater drains in Calwell, leading to better water quality, improved amenity and ecological benefits. The team oversaw every aspect of the planning, design review, procurement, construction, and close-out phases of the project as part of the broader ACT Healthy Waterways initiative. This project was designed to filter and purify the water as it flowed through Tuggeranong Creek. A significant technical challenge was safeguarding the works and managing stormwater throughout the site.

To address this, Cord Civil installed an Aqua Barrier, a large plastic bladder equipped with internal anti-roll baffles, filled with water, serving as a temporary dam. Cord Civil kept this complex and challenging project on track with clever planning and proactive problem solving.

They went the extra mile by engaging an external environmental consultant to keep the project compliant, and successfully managed water flows on the worksite to minimise damage during a period of significant rainfall.

CIVIL OTHER

COMPLEX CO. Sydney & Melbourne Building Laneways Upgrade

The team at Complex Co. are behind the critical stormwater improvements at two of Canberra’s most iconic heritage buildings, the Sydney and Melbourne Buildings. In addition to bringing the drainage system up to modern standards to reduce flood risk, they have also helped improve the safety, beauty and appeal of Verity and Odgers Lanes connecting the two buildings, with new pavements, better lighting and safer pedestrian and vehicle access. They were able to achieve this with minimal disruption to businesses. Following preliminary works, Complex Co. undertook works to lower the 225-millimeter-high pressure watermain, and to construct precast concrete chambers on the downstream side of the network.

At the same time, the design for the upstream network was being developed. Showing excellent commitment to environmental best practice, Complex Co. employed innovative strategies to work around the oversized root systems of the 100-plus year-old trees. These improvements mean that the community can now enjoy outdoor dining and events in the new and improved space for decades to come.

To achieve this, bi-folding systems were integrated and carefully designed to align with the architectural intent of the structure.

BUILT

National Gallery of Australia - LED Lighting Upgrade

Built successfully upgraded all lighting at the National Gallery to LED lighting, enhancing sustainability and helping the Gallery reduce its environmental footprint. LED lights have a profound positive impact on the environment due to their energy efficiency and longevity. They consume significantly less energy compared to traditional incandescent and fluorescent lights, leading to reduced electricity usage and lower greenhouse gas emissions. By selecting Casambi lighting, Built enabled the Gallery to have precise control over lighting levels and schedules, optimising energy usage and reducing costs. In addition, even though much of the existing lighting infrastructure was nearing end of life, Built took a proactive approach to salvage some existing track and luminaires. The Gallery team were then able to donate salvaged track and luminaires to a community organisation, diverting material from landfill while contributing to community initiatives.
