On a tight, constrained inner city brownfield site with numerous stakeholders, BG&E delivered a concise design and expanded our works to include all civil scope gap items – including water, flooding and rail.

This comprehensive approach to civil design resulted in significant cost reductions and a cohesive final design solution.

Brisbane’s first vertical school, Fortitude Valley State Secondary College, gives students a learning experience that makes the most of the urban surroundings, subtropical climate, and the opportunity to engage with the community.

The architectural concept was designed by Cox Architecture with Thomson Adsett delivering the final architectural design. The project offers both traditional classrooms and contemporary workshop and collaborative spaces over a number of levels.

BG&E provided civil, structural, flood and traffic engineering for the flagship, future-focused educational facility.

The early works for this $81 million development allowed integration between the flood modelling and the civil and structural design, with the project being constructed by Hutchinson Builders well ahead of the initial schedule.

Fortitude Valley State Secondary College sets a new benchmark for State education facilities and bolsters Brisbane’s position as a leading provider of high-quality services.
