Case Study: Grocon achieves sustainable inner-city Melbourne development goals with InfraBuild Steel Centre

Grocon advances Northumberland Tower with InfraBuild’s 1,100-tonne steel supply

Grocon, a construction developer, faced significant technical challenges in building the Northumberland Tower in Melbourne while preserving an operational telephone exchange on the lower floors. This required large-span steel members to overcome site complexities and a need to minimize material waste for their sustainability goals. They engaged InfraBuild Steel Centre to supply structural steel packages.

InfraBuild provided a two-stage supply solution, including custom truss beams and sourcing certified Australian-made steel to reduce complexity and risk in the supply chain. By pre-ordering materials and providing custom lengths, InfraBuild helped minimize lead times and material waste. Over 1,100 tonnes of steel were supplied, contributing to the project's aim of achieving a 6 Star Green Star rating and keeping the development on track for completion.
