Pacific

With winter now upon our doorstep (normally a lot earlier in Tasmania than Queensland) it is nice to know that both buildings are now “topped out”. Our team are now inside the buildings pre-wiring the student accommodation spaces. Fitting off has commenced on the lower levels, and the electrical “heart” (being the main switchboard) is being installed this month – a major milestone for any electrical contractor and we thank our local manufacturers for maintaining the program during these unprecedented times. May also seen another two local electricians join the Blue Star team to assist us in continuing to complete the project ahead of program.

Blue Star Pacific was proud to have secured the electrical D&C contract for the Ripley Valley State School and the Ripley Valley State Secondary College. Both schools have been open for teaching since the start of the 2020 school year. This project is part of a multi-million dollar education precinct with both schools featuring general learning areas, administration centres, lecture theatres, as well as dedicated spaces for performing arts, music and sport. Blue Star Pacific have worked hard alongside our client Watpac to deliver a high-quality project within a reasonably short timeframe.

Blue Star Pacific were awarded the D&C Electrical Works package for the Signature Apartments with Icon Co in 2019. Located in Broadbeach, the 35 storey project consists of 246 ocean view apartments. Residents at Signature will have access to “The Deck” which includes a private dining room, a theatre, residents lounge, infinity pool, a gym and a steam/sauna room. So far, the Blue Star team have started the install of temporary power on site and are continuing to work through design elements; while the builder is working on the excavation of basement levels to then pour the bottom basement slab by Easter.  

Blue Star Pacific are proud to have secured the electrical D&C contract in relation to the construction of 2 new schools in South Ripley. This project is part of a multi-million dollar education precinct being built on a 14.4 hectare site. It will be transformed into two separate schools, a primary school and a high school, and will feature general learning areas, administration centers, lecture theaters, as well as dedicated spaces for performing arts, music, and sport.  The primary school will cater for 1,000 students and the high school will cater for 1,500 students. With the precinct set to welcome students in 2020, Blue Star Pacific will be working hard alongside its client Watpac to deliver a high quality project…

Well what a project this has been to be involved with! Working closely with Hutchinson Builders we have together, along with all trades, been able to build a place which will be known in Brisbane as the new meeting place. Situated under the Story Bridge the location is filled with new restaurants, bars, a bespoke brewery, convention center, function rooms, 300+ space basement carpark, park lands and in the first quarter of next year, a 166 room Art Series Hotel. This will really join Brisbane City to Fortitude Valley and add an extra feature on the morning run/walk/riding trail. Our onsite team worked closely with multiple stakeholders and designers to ensure that all aspects of their requirements were met including…
