PS Structures recently completed the construction of the new PlusLife Bone and Tissue bank Cleanroom facility in Midland. The new state of the art Cleanroom facility forms an extension to the existing Heritage listed Railway Institute Building, formerly used back in the day as a training facility for the Railway institute and more recently used as MRA’s regional offices.
Part of the contracted works included the removal of an existing external staircase to allow the joining of the new building to the old and minor upgrades to the electrical installation.
In addition to the contracted works, a substantial amount of work was added as a variation to the contract, which included some major works within and around the Heritage building.
Additional works included:
Removal and replacement of the entire existing HVAC system.
Removal and replacement of the existing carpark, including the protection and retaining of the existing railway tracks within the carpark.
Repainting of the internal Heritage building.
Removal of previously installed carpets and making good, sanding and sealing of the Heritage listed timber floors.
Re-pointing and making good of existing brickwork and mortar.
All works completed in close consultation with the Heritage architect.
“This project is a very good example of a new building being attached to a renovated historic building ensuring the overall project was sympathic to the Midland Railway precinct. The new labs required the installation of complicated services and temperature control with back-up, our discussion with the client made it clear that they are very impressed with the finished product.”
