The Carlton United
Brewery Site was a unique project in that it was a 4.5 hectare site
within the Brisbane CBD and adjacent to both Emergency Services
(Fire Brigade Area Headquarters) and Carlton United Brewery's Queensland
Head Office.
The project involved:
- Demolition of 14 buildings ranging from 2 storey structures
to a structural concrete tank the equivalent of a 10 storey
building located adjacent to a main thoroughfare.
- The retention of a 5 storey facade on Brunswick Street.
- Remediation and validation back to "former status"
of the entire site (4.5ha). The remediation was an onerous task
as it was undertaken on a guaranteed maximum quotation and involved:
- Collating prior reports on site contamination;
- Excavating, testing and disposing of 5,300 m³ of
low level contaminated fill and 970 m³ of high level
contaminated soil;
- Validating the site to "former status" as defined
by the Queensland Department of Environment and Heritage
to enable residential zoning.
- Bulk Excavation which included:
- Removal of 25,000 m of soil and rock;
- The construction of plateaux and grades for future building
works;
- Construction of sprayed concrete retaining walls and
installation of rock anchors on a 2 - 6 metre vertical face
to ensure the continued integrity of both a roadway and
6- storey adjoining buildings.
