Plumbing Manhole Covers for the Brisbane SkyNeedle from EJ

Most Brisbanites will know the now iconic SkyNeedle, the monumental protrusion that points irrevocably to the heavens from its home in South Brisbane. It's famous for its light-house twirling laser-light that lit up the Brisbane skyline during EXPO 88.

After EXPO, it was acquired by Queensland hairdressing magnate, Stefan (Stephen Ackerie), who became a household name through the heady days of the 80s, 90s and into the new millennium, for his legendary east coast network of ladies hair salons.

The SkyNeedle has been languishing on a building site in South Brisbane ever since EXPO, but most recently, the Pradella Group has brought this amazing landmark back into public focus by creating a stunning SkyNeedle themed apartments tower on an adjacent allotment.

During construction of this sparkling new precinct, Tacoma Plumbing assigned to provide, within the extensive scope of their work, a series of manhole covers. In this case, a number of 900mm x 900mm Class B and D Single Part Access Covers delivered to site in quick time from the order being placed. A consignment of stainless steel drainage grates was also ordered and delivered.

EJ has been privileged to partner with Tacoma Plumbing since the early 1990s, and has a proud history of supplying the product, through both the HaveStock and EJ entities, direct from holding yards in Australia. We are well experienced in the supply of access covers of all types and specifications for such outstanding projects, corporate or residential.
