The new building is 1200 square meters in area, 15 meters in height, and a foundation pit  6 meters in depth. The building structure has crane rails for a twin 25 tonne crane of 30 meter bridge span. The site provided challenges  for below ground construction as it is in saturated sand with ground water at 900-mm. Carron Concrete services completed the project on time and on Budget.
