Administration

The modern style office building is a landmark structure in the heart of Brisbane’s government precinct. With 44 floors above ground, it is the tallest commercial building in Brisbane at 267 metres.

The building was developed for the Queensland Government as part of the government’s plan for a renewed Government Administrative Precinct and to meet its accommodation demands.
Steelcad was engaged to deliver the Steelwork shop drawings for the crown and spire. A number of the frames for the crown were constructed using a DfMA methodology, to aid in a faster erection time on site.

Steelcad were involved in working with surveyors, to capture the key points of the spire whilst it was temporarily erected flat in the paint yard. This survey data was used to measure each section as it was erected and was checked against survey data of the structure it was fixing to. The result of this being a clash free erection of a high-risk arrangement of structural steel elements.

Steelcad were also involved in developing temporary works solutions for DfMA lifting and safe work platforms with the rigger. A number of solutions were delivered which aided in the speed and safety of steelwork erections.
