SlabDrain trench system by ACO Polycrete at BAC head office
Brisbane Airport commenced a $340 million dollar expansion in
October 2006 of the International Terminal; it will be completed by the end of
2008. The expansion features two new gates, additional check-in, arrival facilities
and carousels; extended apron areas, an increase in the number of retail outlets
and a new multi-story carpark.
To complement the expansion, a new business park has been developed to increase
business growth and opportunity as a result of its strategic proximately to Brisbane
Airport, Brisbane City and other key infrastructure. This scheme is in association
with the QLD Government, to develop a thriving business park as part of Brisbane's
gateway to new business under the Australian Trade Coast Infrastructure Plan. Part
of the upgrade is to construct Brisbane Airport's Corporation's (BAC's) new head
office in the centre of the park. The new $4 Million facility houses BAC's staff
and the project design team for the expansion.
In the paved areas outside the building and adjacent to the water features. ACO's
