On Monday, 12 September, the Queensland State Velodrome was recognised as the top ‘Engineering Project’ at the Australian Steel Institute’s (ASI) national gala in Melbourne.
The ASI noted how the Queensland State Velodrome took advantage of various external cladding systems to meet required performance characteristics and support architecturally critical eaves detail that visually defines the building form.
The project team included the client (Stadiums Queensland, Office of the Commonwealth Games and Department of State Development), architect (Cox Architecture), contractor (Watpac) and steel fabricator (Beenleigh Steel Fabrications) with Arup as structural engineers.
