- Abstract
Aurecon was engaged by the Department of Planning Transport and Infrastructure (DPTI) to prepare an Asset Management Plan for the Adelaide Railway Station, which included consideration of the condition and maintenance of the façade of this historic building. The façade has been the subject of condition inspections by specialist façade contractors Synergy Remedial who issued reports in 2006 and 2009. Selective repairs of the more obvious defects, such as delaminating decorative features, have been carried out over the last four years. As part of the Asset Management Plan, Aurecon undertook a reassessment of the condition of the façades in conjunction with an appraisal of the 2009 Synergy report.
The following summarises the background information on the building, the investigation findings and subsequent conservation works undertaken.
