Broadcasting facilities for the Australian Open
CONTRACT VALUE
$3.0 million
CONTRACT PERIOD
12 weeks
MBS was appointed by Coates Hire as the subcontractor for the design and manufacture of the two-storey Tennis Australia broadcasting facility. The program and delivery schedule was challenging. The project had to be finished for the start of the broadcast of the 2015 Australian Open. MBS revised the different production lines to dramatically improve the speed of construction. The output was outstanding, and MBS delivered 3,060m2 of buildings in 85 modules within the short program timeline. The building had to meet specific structural requirements so it could be re-used each year for the following five years. Specific internal requirements were also necessary in light of the broadcasting equipment.
CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTORS
- Meeting a tight deadline while providing quality buildings
- Providing innovative structural design
