Construction work at Elizabeth Quay
focus from O & G and mining to infrastructure and defence . The Perth waterfront used to be an under-utilized asset , but now WA ’ s capital city is finally making the most from it with the $ 2.6 billion Elizabeth Quay Project , which covers nearly ten hectares of prime riverfront land between Barrack and William streets in the heart of the city . The project creates a magnificent precinct featuring a newly dug 2.7 hectare inlet surrounded by a split level promenade , shops , cafés , restaurants and other exciting entertainment venues . Civmec secured a major package of work on Elizabeth Quay in July 2014 , laying down a marker that it had arrived in the infrastructure space .
“ The job initially involved the supply of precast marine fascia panels , a very visible , architectural part of the development involving dramatic curved shapes around the whole perimeter . This led to the award of an iconic steel structure , the two architectural arches supporting a pedestrian bridge . Not many people could have delivered the level of quality they needed ,” Tallon says .
