Brisbane Airport

Background

Fast Flow Australia (FFA) was approached by Aqualogical Hydraulic Consultants in 1999, representing the Brisbane Airport Corporation (BAC), Arups and Hassel Architectural Firms, Laing O’Rourke Australia Pty Ltd and associated businesses operating within the Brisbane Airport facility to assist in the proposal and development of numerous Siphonic design options to meet the needs and requirements of a three-stage Separable Portion programme for BAC’s new multi-level carpark. The proposed options had to be able to capture rainfall over 18,156 sq. m. of roof area above the new structure, and had to be environmentally friendly and eminently practical as well.

Challenges

The BAC multi-level carpark was an airport project. This naturally meant that the compliance with and maintaining of Design and Programme Key Objectives and Parameters were essential throughout the project duration. A single mistake could easily compromise the entire operation. FFA was also required to maintain a strict emphasis on OH&S policies, Airport and Civil Aviation Regulations and Quality Assurance, as well as ensure comprehensive compliance with procedures.

Solution & Outcome

FFA’s success on this project required complete stakeholder satisfaction. This was achieved through progressive consultation, thoughtful address and resolution of Key Stakeholder concerns, as well as careful attention to all operational aspects and staging of the construction works programme.
