Congratulations to the Award Winner – Hollywood Plumbing, Howard Smith Wharves Revitalisation Project

The site is a 3.4 hectare, 560m parcel of Brisbane CBD located under the Northern side of the Story Bridge, and now contains a five-star hotel, multiple restaurants and function venues plus green space gardens and lifestyle areas.

Due to the acoustic requirements of the hotel, drainage systems were installed using a piping system made with the latest technology in polypropylene and mineral fibres to ensure minimal noise levels were generated during operation. There was also innovative pumping solutions utilised to maintain a dry basement in the 360 bay underground carpark.

“Winning this award gives a greater sense of achievement for our staff and heightened company profile to promote. It’s well worth nominating and getting involved in the awards night!”

Finalist – Beavis and Bartels, Brisbane Quarter ‘300 George St’
