This contract comprises two buildings adjacent to the existing facilities and is located within the restricted Lucas Heights facility. The buildings were highly technical, complex and sensitive in nature. One building houses uranium and thorium series laboratories, accelerator mass spectrometry and chemistry facility while the second houses a 1MV and 6MV accelerator and associated workshops.
Prior to construction, a car park for 100 cars was constructed. The concrete floors required particular detailing provisions for the chilled water and associated services to the equipment. Thermal and acoustic issues were encountered and overcome with detailed discussions and planning.
The construction has been finished to a high standard in a very difficult environment.
