Project Highlights

Constrained Site Delivery

Completed within a restricted site footprint bordered by overhead powerlines and tight boundary setbacks, requiring detailed planning to maintain safety, access and construction efficiency.

Complex Logistics

Careful coordination of lifting operations and material deliveries enabled construction activities to progress within the limited site layout while minimising disruption and maintaining programme commitments.

Authority Coordination

Worked closely with QFES, NBN and Logan Water to progress authority requirements and support achievement of a conditional Certificate of Occupancy.

Programme Resilience

Maintained progress against the target construction program despite unforeseen challenges including adverse weather, elevator procurement delays, subcontractor insolvency and changing authority requirements.

Workforce Development

The project supported workforce capability through site-based training initiatives and contributed to industry development, delivering 1,786 apprentice hours across subcontract trades.

To support frontline emergency services in one of Logan’s busiest corridors, Alder delivered a new purpose-built ambulance station in Springwood, replacing the existing facility on Vanessa Boulevard. Delivered as a design and construct project for the Queensland Government, the new station was designed to enhance operational readiness, incorporating vehicle bays, a dedicated wash area, storage and a plant room, alongside a modern building with training spaces, administration areas, kitchen and dining facilities, and staff accommodation.

Working within a constrained site environment, the project required careful planning to navigate overhead powerlines and a tight building footprint along the boundaries. Alder coordinated complex lifting operations and material handling within the restricted layout, while maintaining strong collaboration with key authorities including QFES, NBN and Logan Water to meet compliance requirements and achieve occupancy milestones.
