Ross Greenup, Shaw Building Group

Project Exhibiting Technical

Difficulty and Innovation
Shaw Building Group
Emergency Department and ICU - The Canberra Hospital

Ross Greenup had total responsibility for the construction

of the extension to the ICU at the Canberra Hospital.
This extremely complex project was built over a site with
unbelievable constraints including major in-ground services
(which couldn’t be disturbed), and an access roadway
that couldn’t be closed. Additionally, an intensive care unit
simply cannot be shut down. Here we see the reality of the
extremely difficult task Ross and his team faced. Reports
from hospital staff on the level of care, forward planning,
sensitivity to the patients and the staff again emphasised the
skills Ross demonstrated in the execution of this project.

The logistics of providing a major new building within an existing hospital, without interruption
to services, is an achievement in itself. This was constructed over an existing high voltage
power line, fire mains, water mains and gas mains, which couldn’t be disturbed, yet the
new building had to be founded on reinforced concrete piers around these services. During
construction, the existing service road to the main communication room/server room and the
Building 1 plant room, which ran under the new building, had to be maintained. As an ICU is
the most sensitive area as far as reliability of services, medical gases etc., and yet extensions
had to be undertaken without any disruption to these vital areas. From accolades provided by
hospital staff, Shaw Building clearly achieved high levels of satisfaction and this is testament
to the degree of dedication provided by the site staff and contractors on the project.

Chase Building Group/
Amalgamated Property Group
Louis Lawson Building

Chase Building Group in conjunction with Amalgamated Property

Group has recently completed the Louisa Lawson Development
in Greenway. The project was delivered with a focus on clean
construction and finishes with an emphasis on the visual quality of
the building. The Louisa Lawson project is a substantial building
constructed in a very short time frame and yet the quality of the fit
out is most impressive. The high quality joinery, the careful detailing
of the removable partitions and the high quality floor finishes
provide the users with a level of ambience which is rare for leased
Government offices. Clearly the team at Chase spent a great deal
of time ensuring that there was the highest level of finish throughout
the building.

This project was very carefully detailed by the Design Team, and
the Builders have reflected this attention to detail in the finished
product. The expertise of the construction team was clearly
demonstrated, not just in the quality of the finishes, but also in the
“back of house” facilities such as plant rooms and basements.
The stair screens suspended through several floors, the glass
panels around the various suspended walkways, and the external
facades are evidence of the care taken to achieve such a high
level of finish. This building highlights the ability of the whole
construction team, which was first class.

Total Project Construction
Daramalan College Lysaght Building

Total Project Construction has once again demonstrated an ability

to work in a school environment, addressing all of the safety issues
which rightly concerned the client, yet producing a high quality
building with little or no disruption to the day-to-day activities of
the school. This particular project has some remarkable brickwork
design, all built to precise detail, plus many other unusual features in
the fit out which enhance the quality of the finished project without
any undue impact on the budget. The school has spoken highly
about Total Project Construction and their ability to meet the tight time
and budget restraints without compromising quality.

The areas of the school that underwent refurbishment were over 40

years old and comprised a labyrinth of small rooms and cubicles.
Total Project Construction worked closely with the school to provide a
high quality project with some fine detailed artwork to provide a fresh,
bright and efficient area with an emphasis on low maintenance.
As is usual with this prize winner, the school spoke very highly of
their cooperative attitude, and flexibility, which allowed the school to
operate without disruption. The design response was to order privacy
at the entry by creating a decorative mosaic glass tile and mirror
curved screen that represents falling water. Beyond the screen is a
reorganised washroom with wave-form vanity benches with simple
lines for hygiene and easy maintenance.

QUestacon Fit out

Built was employed by Questacon to provide a high

quality fit out from concept development to the final
delivery and commissioning. This involved working
in a heritage building where protection of many of
the existing finishes was a principal element, and a
sensitivity to the requirements of the many business
units involved in the project.

A key element of the project was Built’s ability to

accurately project the costs from basic drawings
to remain on budget. There was also a need
to smoothly relocate 300 staff, plus workshop
machinery, during the last week of the project.

A high quality working environment is the result.

Cord Civil
Belconnen to City transit way stage 2

The project required construction of additional

traffic lanes, bus lanes, a drop-off area for Radford
College, new traffic signals and multiple bus stops.
All this was constructed under live traffic conditions,
while maintaining constant flows without delays.

Cord Civil’s WHS & E policies permitted a strategic

plan which maximised recycling and they also
organised the sites to ensure minimal impact on the
project surroundings. Purchasing materials in this
fashion also allowed Cord to minimise an untidy site
by controlling the location of material stockpile sites.
Cord Civil effectively structured works to enable
access to all roads was kept in a safe and workable
manner at all times.

No major injuries or incidents were recorded

throughout the duration of the project.

Parkes Way Widening

The project was to widen the existing two lane

carriageways from Glenloch interchange to
Commonwealth Avenue by constructing an
additional lane in each direction to alleviate traffic
congestion.

Widening bridges which span Clunies Ross Street

and Sullivans Creek was a major part of the work.

A complex project with many challenges, it included

managing one of Canberra’s major traffic corridors,
driving piles within the waterway of Sullivans
Creek, dual lifting of the precast post stressed
trough guiders into place on a single weekend, and
managing sensitive environmental and user issues in
Sullivans Creek.

An excellent engineering result was achieved and

significant improvement in the daily commute.

Crace Estate Stages 2C2 and 2C3

This Crace residential sub division has been in

was for the construction of stages 2C2 and 2C3 civil
works. The works included earthworks, pavements,
curbing, hydraulic services, utilities, traffic control
devices, incidental works and grassing.

Challenges for the project included large quantities

of hard rock, access and proximity to other works.
Dust had to be kept to a minimum, noise restraints
forced working hours to be restricted, management
of storm water, erosion and sediment control.

The contractor succeeded in running a well-

managed project which produced both a high

Cotter Dam

The Cotter Dam project represents one of the most

significant infrastructure projects in Canberra’s
history. The project has increased Canberra’s
water storage capacity by 35%. The new dam was
constructed downstream of the original Cotter Dam
and at 87m is the tallest roller-compacted concrete
dam in Australia.

Excavation of the foundations for its abutments

required an extensive operation on extremely steep
0.5:1 slopes at heights up to 110m. The high-risk
nature of the project put safety at the forefront.

Environmental management was key with several

industry best practices achieved including awards
for the Fish Management Program and for
environmental excellence from the International
Erosion Control Association.

IQON
National Film and Sound Archives

IQON was tasked with creating a sophisticated public

theatre with tiered seating for over 100 people, within an
operating archive. The work involved creating a structural
steel framework to support the seating tiers inside an internal
space with minimal access, while maintaining the existing
heritage finishes. Substantial investigative works were
necessary to ensure that penetrations for supports were
minimised and to safeguard existing heritage features.

The result is an extremely delighted client, and an example of

what can be achieved under very difficult circumstances.

subcontractor - technical difficulty
Canberra Solid Surfaces
Canberra Centre Food Court

This project involved both an extremely tight program,

and a demanding need for high quality. Supply of limited
raw materials, made overseas, placed a further strain on the
project.

The subcontractor had to design and fabricate the substantial

curved seating areas in a complex layout, incorporating
illuminated panels, using Corian panels. The panels were
delivered in standard sheets requiring the subcontractor to
join them seamlessly over a substantial length, and around
some very tight radii.

The subcontractor was also required to develop a support

system for the complex compound curved ceilings to the
seating booths and to clad them from floor to ceiling in cork.
A first class job undertaken under difficult circumstances.

Commercial sustainable construction
Brema Group
Efficiency of re-use of resources

Brema Group recognises the efficiency of re-using resources,

and salvages any useable material and equipment.
Recovered materials include steel pipes from Garema
Court, stainless steel doors from Mirinjani Nursing Home
Refurbishment, and computer flooring from 16 Mort Street.
Separation of materials was also a key focus of Brema Group
throughout the Canberra Centre Food Garden project.

There are no glass recycling plants in Canberra, so Brema

Group stockpiled a substantial amount of glass and
transported it to Sydney. With over 1000 tonnes of waste,
Brema Group was able to recycle 90% of the material.

Brema Group is the proud recipient of the Corporate Award

at the 2013 ACT Smart Business Award’s Recycling Program.

Canberra Contractors
Ngunnawal 2C Estate

Reuse and recycling of materials has been

fundamental to the commercial viability of the
Ngunnawal 2C Estate (Broadview). Works
consist of bulk earthworks, hydraulic works,
shared trench, select layer, street light installation
and water quality control ponds.

A challenge of the project was managing

the some 73,000m3 of BRU and demolition
concrete. Stockpile screening and management
plans such as Stockpile Beneficial Reuse
Management Plan (SBRMP) and Construction
Environmental Management Plan (CEMP)
were implemented. Additional to this,
Canberra Contractors ensured two designated
contamination officers (DCO) were present at
all times during excavation and transporting of
materials for beneficial reuse.

interior Finish
J & J Interiors
Chemical Sciences Building ANU

The anodised aluminium panels used extensively

throughout the interior of the building provided
a unique modernistic finish to this cutting edge
facility. The design patterning resulted in a wide
range of angular shapes requiring the contractor
to “design and construct” the variable panels to
meet the Architect’s expectation. Many of the
panels were applied to raked, flat and bevelled
ceilings including to the three-storey high entry
ceiling, and required extremely careful survey,
detailed shop drawing and fabrication to achieve
the high quality end product.

exterior finish
Canberra Building Services
Chemical Sciences Building ANU

This project involved the cladding of the external

facades with composite Aluminium – Vitrabond
panels in a cassette system. The panels
were varied geometrical shapes contained
within a basically precast facade. Though
there appeared to be some repetition in the
various panel shapes it became apparent after
commencement that the concrete tolerances
resulted in almost every panel being unique.
As a consequence, the process of individual
measure and fabrication placed great pressure
on the programme for the subcontractor. Despite
this the finished product is of the highest quality.

public domain landscaping
Design landscapes
National Arboretum Pod Playground

The Pod Playground at the National Arboretum

captures a whimsical, yet grounded, design
aesthetic through the inclusion of a range of
novel design elements. Bringing this Taylor
Cullity Lethlean scheme to life required
innovative and ingenious construction methods.

Realisation of the design involved many technical

challenges, including extensive and exceptionally
intricate formwork along organically designed
slab facades, the reinvention of some finishing
techniques, and climbing and retaining walls.

Added to the substantial material requirements,

the design’s construction demanded the
usual attention to detail needed in children’s
playgrounds, and adherence to the rigorous
standards associated with such spaces.
Overcoming these technical obstacles in
themselves is of great merit, but the fact that
this is achieved to a very high standard speaks
highly of Design Landscapes’ ethos.
