123 Albert Street is a commercial office development in Brisbane, Australia, which was completed in 2011. This repositioning project included substantial cutting-edge smart technology upgrades, ensuring the tower remains a leading property in Brisbane’s premium-grade office market. Rickard Engineering is proud to be the façade engineer for the replacement and upgrade of the existing building façade with GRC cladding, from concept and detailed design to certification. This is a complex project with active coordination with the builder and existing tenants to ensure continued operations. This is achieved by designing the GRC panels with the fixings to suit the erection method and sequence.
In addition to the GRC cladding, Rickard Engineering also designed a combination of crystal satin and frosted finish glass bricks for two of the columns on the street frontage, maintaining the building’s heritage, with a modern twist to suit the vibe of the existing laneway and surrounds.
