This state-of-the-art scientific facility, sponsored by the Victorian Government, is dedicated to the study of physical elements at the subatomic level. With a construction budget of $206 million, the project features an impressive 11,000m² circular roof area. The construction timeline was critical, with a significant focus on the rapid and safe installation of the roof to ensure timely weather protection.
To meet the tight deadlines and safety requirements, the project utilised ground-based assembly of pre-finished Durra Panels and Durra Steel Sections. These were then assembled into large panelized modules and lifted into place using the innovative Durra Lifting Frame.
