InfraBuild has been closely involved in foundation works for Brisbane CBD\u2019s newest precinct, the largest construction project currently underway in Queensland.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

InfraBuild has kept the Queen\u2019s Wharf project ahead of program by accelerating its supply of reinforcing steel to site for two of the project\u2019s large raft slabs.<\/p>\n

Approximately 700 tonnes of reinforcing has been used in the two slabs, which form a base for\u00a0two of\u00a0the four towers that will make up Brisbane\u2019s $3.6bn Queen\u2019s Wharf Brisbane Integrated Resort Development.<\/p>\n

Michael Jostsons, InfraBuild Reinforcing Project Manager, says the schedule for supply and delivery of cut and bent bar for the slabs originally allowed for a 14-day period between each. However, the business was able to meet the Principal Contractor\u2019s request to supply both simultaneously. The solution has helped Multiplex continue to deliver the program ahead of schedule.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe committed to a supply program from the outset\u00a0and we exceeded expectations by increasing the supply when requested,\u201d\u00a0Michael says.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were effectively asked to double-up on our supply,\u201d he says. \u201cIt put the pressure on, but we were glad we could exceed our original commitment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Benefits of vertically integrated supply<\/h4>\n

The supply of steel for the raft slabs is one component of InfraBuild’s total supply package, which will amount to more than 12,500 tonnes by project end. The bulk so far has been cut and bent heavy bar (up to 40mm), plus mesh, both of which come from InfraBuild Reinforcing\u2019s Acacia Ridge facility on Brisbane\u2019s southside.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Managing that volume of reinforcing steel from the production facility for use in the raft slabs, each of which is up to 2.2m deep, required coordinated forward planning. The slabs had up to 17 layers of reinforcing and at peaks in the delivery program InfraBuild Reinforcing was delivering up to 90 tonnes per day.<\/p>\n

\u201cGiven that it was heavy bar, relatively limited supply is held in stock,\u201d Michael explains. \u201cWe had to work with the mill to plan availability of stock so we could process the bar, schedule it and get it out to site.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s one of the advantages of InfraBuilds’ vertically integrated supply chain that it can collaborate with upstream production facilities when required and scale up its ability to process large volumes of bar at its manufacturing facilities on demand.<\/p>\n

Delivering to a\u00a0large\u00a0project\u00a0site\u00a0in the CBD\u00a0has added challenges.<\/p>\n

\u201cQueen’s Wharf is currently the largest construction project underway in Queensland\u2014and it\u2019s in one of the busiest parts of the Brisbane CBD,\u201d says Michael. \u201cWe\u2019ve successfully cooperated with other trades, suppliers and materials going in and out on a restricted delivery pattern; and we\u2019ve needed to coordinate with multiple cranes and unloading areas within the site.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

\u201cThere are currently\u00a0nine\u00a0towers on site\u2014with the tenth expected in 2020\u00a0\u2014 which is about as many as I have ever seen on a site at the one time. That\u2019s where the complexity in this project lies.\u201d<\/p>\n

He says projects the size of Queen\u2019s Wharf reinforce the need for close collaboration between suppliers and the principal contractor \u2013 in this case, Multiplex.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese projects are all about forward planning and having flexibility to meet program needs,\u201dMichael says. \u201cWhat\u2019s important is good communication and making sure there\u2019s a conduit between our business and theirs to resolve challenges together.\u201d<\/p>\n

Iconic project for Brisbane<\/h4>\n

Design of the Queen’s Wharf Development has been led by Cottee Parker Architects, which forms part of the Destination Brisbane Consortium chosen by the Queensland government to transform the site. Multiplex has been contracted to deliver the project\u2019s shell and core works, including the basement, base services, the tower structures and the fa\u00e7ade of the main integrated resort.<\/p>\n

As at September 2019, Multiplex had overseen the pouring of the first section of suspended basement. What was a 26m-deep hole below George Street will soon be five levels of basement, the largest in the Brisbane CBD.<\/p>\n

The Brisbane city skyline will be radically altered by the time Queen’s Wharf\u2019s sculpted towers are complete. The new precinct will comprise four new luxury hotels, 2000 residential apartments, more than 50 new bars and restaurants, a riverfront moonlight cinema and offer more than 12 football fields of public space. An elevated Skydeck that takes inspiration from the verandah of traditional \u2018Queenslander\u2019 houses will be publicly accessible and offer 360-degree views of the river, the city and its surrounds.<\/p>\n

A new casino, which replaces the existing Treasury Casino,\u00a0will operate in the arc-shaped building facing the Brisbane River, with the existing Treasury Casino building on nearby William Street set to close its doors and reopen as a high-end boutique retail centre. A footbridge will connect the site with Brisbane\u2019s Southbank on the opposing side of the river.<\/p>\n

So large is the new precinct that it will occupy approximately\u00a010\u00a0per cent (27.312\u00a0hectares) of the area of the Brisbane CBD.\"\"<\/p>\n
