C1 Project

SBP Australia worked together with BML on the $12.8M state-of-the-art C1 refrigerated warehouse at Rocklea. Completed in April 2019, the facility was purpose built as the new national Operations Centre for end user, the Montague Group. We worked closely with BML and their tenant to understand operational dependencies, so that the day-to-day business could continue with little or no impact during construction. Through our early involvement in the design of the insulated panels component, and our understanding of the end user’s requirements, SBP Australia was able to offer BML a range of cost savings by providing alternative materials that did not impact the quality or functionality of the finished building. The 5,300m² facility features six coldrooms, four fast drying/coolrooms, a packaging area, two finger docks and dock levellers, offices, gymnasium, and a battery change room tailored for the electronic forklifts that will operate in the warehouse footprint. Close collaboration on design modifications with BML and the architect were key to this project.
