Project Name: Aurora Towers 7th Floor Podium Upgrade

Location: Brisbane CBD, QLD

Armstrong Building was handpicked to deliver a technically intricate upgrade to the seventh-floor podium deck of Aurora Towers—a 65-storey residential high-rise in the heart of Brisbane.

Scope & Design Response

• Fabrication and installation of a custom-built awning system to prevent falling objects from upper balconies, including:
• Structural steel framing.
• Laser-cut aluminium roofing panels.
• Laser-etched Perspex ceiling inserts.
• Remediation of failed waterproofing membranes.
• Rebuild of outdoor amenities including:
• Raised Modwood decking.
• Restored BBQ zones.
• Reconstructed garden beds with improved drainage and waterproofing.

Engineering Challenges & Solutions

• Structural Precision: Fixings into the external façade required meticulous coordination to avoid compromising the reinforcement supporting the remaining 65 floors above.
• Material Handling in Tight CBD Constraints: Overcame vertical access and street-level traffic restrictions via detailed logistical planning and multiple high-precision crane lifts.

Outcome Despite the structural sensitivities and logistical hurdles, the project was successfully completed on time and within budget—delivering a safer, more resilient communal space for residents.
