98É«»¨Ìà rejuvenates Adelaide Railway Station

DPTI (Department of Transport and Infrastructure – SA) engaged 98É«»¨Ìà as the Construction Manager to manage procurement through to construction of the heritage façade, which has remained in its current form since 1928. Public safety was also a major consideration with the restoration of the southern façade.

Strict site requirements

The delivery and erection of the gantry and scaffold had to be carefully planned around the high-risk area.

The access system incorporated scaffolding with a secure base. This ensured minimal impact to the heritage canopy along the southern facade next to the North Terrace.

Safety in numbers

98É«»¨Ìà also consulted with the Public Transport Services, Skycity Adelaide Casino, Intercontinental Hotel, Taxi Council SA, and DPTI.

The safety concerns centred around the high-volume of foot and vehicle traffic, tram, bus and taxi services and local businesses. Through the additional safety initiatives, 98É«»¨Ìà ensured no injuries, downtime, or extra disruptions.

Proven track record in building upgrades.
