Case Studies
Centrepoint, ATO Building
Mann Group was assigned the internal strip out of a 10 storey office
building from Westfield Design and Construction. This work was carried out
as part of stage one. The complication with this project was access for the
material handling. The only access was a via passenger lift to the loading
dock at basement level where there is height restriction. The project was
completed on time and within budget and to the satisfaction of Westfields.
Following the completion of stage one strip out Mann Group was awarded stage
two structure demolition. This package included the removal of all precast
panels, creation of light well penetrations throughout the building, removal
of redundant plant and equipment form the plantroom and asbestos hazardous
material removal. The major item to consider was the structure condition of
the precast panels. The methodology for handling the removal of the precast
panels was carried out in a manner not to impact on the surrounding custom
built cradles to ensure the precast panels supported from the under side
occupants and comply with Council conditions. Mann Group methodology
utilising this proved to be successful and incident free. Mann Group
provided 2 cradles to ensure the critical path ways met before Christmas
