Adelaide Produce Markets

Burma Road, Pooraka

COMPLETION DATE: March 2012
CONTRACT VALUE: $4.23 million
SCOPE: The existing Market Square at the Adelaide Produce Markets is set to undergo a major transformation with two new free standing canopies being built to protect the fresh food produce we all enjoy. Each canopy is approximately 9300m² in size providing 18,600m² of undercover area for the logistics handling, storage and distribution. This transformation will result in the largest undercover market in the state and one of the largest in Australia.

The new structures are unique in design with each canopy being supported by only eight columns. This was a critical aspect of our clients brief as their operations demanded the greatest amount of unobstructed work space possible. With the introduction of a sophisticated steel truss design with spans over 48m and “W” shaped roof structure we have been able to fulfil our clients brief.

In addition to the new Market Square Precinct we are extending one of the existing canopies along with two existing warehouses on the site. In total we are providing approximately 21,400m² new buildings for our client. With some careful planning and strategic coordination all of the 21,400m² of new works is being built whilst our client remains fully operational.
