Robina Heath Precinct - On Site Progress

Glenzeil are close to completion of the addition to the Robina Hospital for Queensland Health; The Health Precinct at Robina.

The project is progressing well with finishing trades working on all levels.  The multidisciplinary clinics on levels one and two comprising consult rooms, allied treatment area and gymnasium are near completion.  Level 3, home to the new Child Youth and Families centre brings to fruition Queensland Health’s vision to relocate to Robina existing QH facilities across the city and place them under the one roof to serve the community in a prime location close to the existing hospital.  Glenzeil were awarded the level 4 fit out works in the middle of the project and are undertaking the new administrative area for the Queensland Health hierarchy with workstations, joinery and services, all expected to be completed in March.  

Glenzeil have worked tirelessly with consultants and Queensland Health, with a ‘can do’ approach to meet QH expectations, to provide a completed project in 40 weeks; no mean feat with a State election announced for late March and given the scope of the project. Final works are progressing to the 8,000m2 open area car park and service yard area with the hard and soft scape landscaping taking shape.  The secure 600m2 undercroft carpark is close to finished.  All structural elements on the project are complete and all major deliveries received.  External perimeter scaffold has been removed revealing a finished terracotta tile and alpolic façade.  Future access to the external façade is by boom lift.  Queensland Fire & Rescue Services inspection was held to meet the programme and final commissioning and defects are well advanced.

The project is due for completion in late March.

500 Queen Street, Brisbane

Glenzeil have been engaged to bring new life to the exterior of 500 Queen Street; an office tower located in the heart of Brisbane CBD.

Works include the painting and tiling of the façade, installation of lighting, decorative screens and landscaping to enhance the exterior appearance of the structure. The pedestrian footpaths will also be lifted and retiled to create a harmonic atmosphere to the area.

Works for the project will be undertaken across all hours in order to avoid disruption to other businesses operating in the area. As a result, the project will  require extensive coordination from the Glenzeil Management team. See the above artist impressions.

Metrowest Warehouse Darra

Glenzeil Pty Ltd have been appointed by project managers, Global Management Corporation, to construct a brand new office/warehouse facility for a National industrial irrigation and agriculture company, Nelson Irrigation Corporation of Australia Pty Ltd, in the thriving Seventeen Mile Rocks industrial estate.

This is a green field site ready for construction to start. Site works will commence with the installation of concrete tilt-up panel's, cast onsite and lifted into position as the warehouse perimeter walls. This will be followed by the erection of the structural steel roof beams and metal roofing. Attached to the warehouse is a 2 story suspended slab office block that consists of secure undercover carparking on ground level with offices and meeting rooms on the upper level. There is also provision for a roof deck for display workshops of their irrigation products. The electrical & mechanical services are design and construct by Glenzeil and our subcontractors, to ensure that the project meets BCA requirements. Minor external works are required with an external carpark and gardens.

The contract starts early February 2012 and with a 24 week construction programme, completion will be achieved at the end of July 2012.

Somerset College Science Laboratory Refurbishment

The refurbishment to the science block at the Somerset College is a further step in an ongoing commitment by the College to provide the latest and best facilities for the teachers and students.

The science block is an existing two storey concrete structure with a timber trussed roof and terracotta roof tiles. The scope of work for this contract included the demolition of the existing laboratories and preparation room fit out on the ground floor followed by a complete new fit out to a new floor plan. The new fit out comprises of an altered wall layout, new work benches, epoxy floor finishes throughout, upgraded electrical, fire, hydraulic, mechanical and gas services as well as the installation of a dumb waiter servicing the two levels. A minor amount of remedial work is required on the upper floor as a result of the dumb waiter installation.

The window and door arrangement has also been altered which required the making good of areas of sandstone to marry in with the existing finishes scheme.

The contract commenced on 22 October 2011 and work was completed in time for the start of the 2012 school year.
