Prize
Winner

The White Bay Power Station - a historic Sydney landmark, served as a power source for the tram and rail systems, and later, the electricity grid from 1912 to 1984. Today, it stands as a testament to a bygone era's design and manufacturing processes, uniquely located near the Sydney Central Business District. 
This project is divided into two packages: Package 1B focused on critical conservation, including hazardous material removal, structural repairs, and addressing safety issues, while Package 2 will involve general remedial, and restoration works across the site. 
The project involved the stabilisation of two 75m high chimneys, requiring the design and development of Custom Access and Chimney Cradles with a Chimney Safe Access System. This system included an engineered rope access system with heavy-duty magnets, ensuring worker safety and stability against wind forces. Additionally, the project demonstrated exceptional attention to emergency response and rescue plans. 
These extraordinary measures in managing high-risk construction work make this project a deserving winner.
