PROJECT SUMMARY
This project involved the innovative re-purposing of an existing steel warehouse structure at Northshore, Brisbane, to create a 4,000m² vaccine delivery system facility. The development included significant structural strengthening to accommodate specialized laboratory spaces, office areas, and warehouse functions. The project required careful consideration of the existing framework while integrating modern facilities to meet the complex demands of vaccine distribution and storage.
Key Engineering Details
Detailed assessment and analysis of existing steel warehouse structure, with subsequent strengthening to accommodate additional roof loads from solar panels, mechanical plant and cleanroom ceiling panels. Detailed settlement analysis of the existing slab was completed to identify and limit the extent of existing slab removal and replacement.
