HMAS Cairns Redevelopment

HMAS Cairns located in Portsmith QLD, is homeport for 14 Naval Vessels and approximately 900 Navy and civilian personnel. The primary responsibility of HMAS Cairns is providing maintenance, logistic and administrative support for Cairns based units.

A proposal was put forward to redevelop the naval base to accommodate the increase in personnel and home ported vessels operating in Far North Queensland.

Salisbury to Kuraby QR Station

Queensland Rail engaged GHD to both design and document the station upgrades between Salisbury and Kuraby. GHD’s in house team prepared the civil, architectural and facility design for the modifications to the six suburban rail stations affected by the addition of a third track between Salisbury and Kuraby.

GHD was also responsible for integrating the railway signaling and overhead electrification aspects into the design. Practical construction staging was set out in a series of construction staging drawings.

Port of Townsville Remediation

Innovation led to environmental success when Port of Townsville Limited completed the Acid Sulfate Soil remediation of the former Sun Sun Prawn Aquaculture Farm located on the Far North Queensland coastline south of Townsville.
