PROJECT OVERVIEW
This allows the different member organisations to pool their considerable expertise and deliver first-class care to cancer patients. It also facilitates a collaborative approach to cancer research and education. The facility itself spans 130,000 square metres and is valued at $1.1 billion. Completed in 2016, it employed a rather conventional design solution, one which involved post tensioned band beams and one way slab construction.
OUR ROLE
Challenges in the independent structural reviews included the triangular building shape in terms of the grid arrangement, which was also dictated by the basement car parking and ground layout. Transfer structures were eliminated by using the 1600 thick heavy bunker walls—both in the B1 basement and around 9 radiotherapy bunkers—to carry tower columns over the loading dock.
