Case Study: Australian Unity completes the Herston Quarter Redevelopment with Pensar's utility investigation and traffic management

Australian Unity completes Herston Quarter redevelopment in 13 months with Pensar

Australian Unity faced the challenge of upgrading a major intersection for the Herston Quarter Redevelopment, a complex project adjacent to the Royal Brisbane Hospital. The client required new sewer and water infrastructure design and the identification of all existing utilities, many of which were undocumented. This had to be completed within a tight timeframe while maintaining constant access for hospital staff and emergency vehicles, necessitating elaborate traffic management plans.

Pensar implemented a comprehensive solution, beginning with a Quality Level B utility investigation to enable a preliminary design and target utilities for potholing. They managed major traffic permits and controls, utilizing multiple crews working in close proximity to meet the deadline. Pensar successfully located all undocumented utilities, incorporated them into the design, and completed the project on time and on budget. This ensured the designers met their Utility Owner's Duty of Care and resulted in no complaints from the client due to effective communication.
