Insurance Australia Group (IAG) has leased office space in Tower 2 in the Darling Park precinct, which incorporated part of level 1 and levels 2 through 19, which were previously leased by PWC. The scope of works included the complete strip-out of each floor from slab to slab back to the core; new penetrations through levels 3 to 15 for interconnecting stairs; new fit-out services including risers connecting the main Comms room; infilling all previous stair penetrations from the previous tenant, refurbishing base building amenities, cores and lift lobbies; new interconnecting stairs; fire curtains where required; raised access floors; service upgrades including air handling units and lobby works for IAG dedicated foyer. The works were completed over an extremely tight timeframe of 12 months. To achieve this, FDC established several teams to focus on specific areas and tasks in order to break the work down into manageable components. The requirement to provide a new internal stair through levels 2 to 15 had a major impact on the works schedule, with a separate team focusing on this activity. The penetrations for the stairs were completed progressively, thereby requiring stair erection on two fronts to progress as scheduled.  Acoustics was of high importance to IAG, particularly on levels 10 and 11. The partitions were full height on these floors, with prototypes provided to review details before rolling out the works.  Significant after-hours work was required, with fit-out works completed during the day and demolition and noisy works at night as the upper levels of the building were occupied by other tenants.  Another challenge was the maintenance of the building’s fire protection systems and building integrity throughout the works.   The works were completed to a high standard under difficult conditions and FDC clearly deserves this award.
