240 Queen Street is an A-Grade office tower comprising of 26 levels. The site is regarded as a prime office location in Brisbane, in what is locally known as the “Golden Triangle”, within the thriving heart of Brisbane’s CBD.

Asset Management Consultants were tasked with design and construction of upgrade works to the building’s Chiller Plant Room. The Plant Room was very congested, housing 3 critical chillers for the building and associated equipment. To enable Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing (MEP) design, an accurate 3D Model of the existing equipment was required.

Orion’s extensive Terrestrial LiDAR and 3D Modelling experience was called upon to complete the accurate scan of the Plant Room. We then completed extensive 3D modelling of the existing MEP equipment and stringent quality assurance process to ensure the model met tight tolerances. The accurate 3D Model enabled upgrade design to avoid potential clashes with existing equipment and certainty for prefabrication of new equipment.

Orion was part of the Consultant Team selected to perform Terrestrial LiDAR scanning, photogrammetry and traditional survey. This information was used to build a digital twin of the site for use in Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality Systems for future museum operations.
