The Company is pleased to advise that Built Environs has achieved practical completion two weeks ahead of schedule on the Plant Accelerator project.
The Plant Accelerator Building at the University of Adelaide’s Waite Campus at Urrbrae, South Australia, will be a world leading plant growth and analysis building that will accelerate pure and applied science research both Australia-wide and internationally.
It is a two-level 4,485m2 crop research and plant breeding facility with the ability to process 160,000 plants a year in programs aimed at increasing drought and salinity tolerance in wheat and barley.
The building includes over 1km of conveyor systems and state-of-the art imaging, robotic and computing equipment that will allow for continuous measurements of the physical attributes of plants.
The complex nature of this unique project meant a tight time frame with countless challenges. Successful completion of this project ahead of schedule is a real credit to the commitment of the team.
