The Coogee Chemical complex in Kwinana, south of Perth, incorporates major tanks, silos, granulation and chemical plants along with many other structures. For over fifteen years, Pritchard Francis has undertaken the civil and structural engineering design work for this complex. This is an example of work undertaken in the industrial and resource sector.

Black Swan Facility Forrestfield
A new integrated process factory and logistics facility for BlueScope Steel. As principal consultant, Pritchard Francis was responsible for civil, structural, rail and design services along with co-ordination of all sub-consultants. The design and construct contract involved 14,000m² of building, 60,000m² of hardstand pavement and 1km of freight rail internal to the site.
Ocean Keys Shopping Centre
This $30m district shopping complex (Stage 1 & 2) located in Perth's northern suburbs, included all civil and structural works.
A thorough geotechnical investigation, including research into site history, resulted in an accurate specification of the bulk earthworks - without time delays and costly overruns due to unforseen ground conditions.
Mount Lawley Senior Hifh School Contaminated Site
The $25m Stage 1 replacement of Mt Lawley Senior High School was potentially delayed pending successful removal of contaminated material on the north-west section of the existing site.
Following detailed investigations and reports, Pritchard Francis was given the task of documenting and managing the $1.8m contract for removing 18,000 tonnes of Class 4 contaminated material from the site and backfilling to new levels.
This difficult project was completed on time and on budget,
CentrePoint Shopping Centre Bunbury
Pritchard Francis provided civil engineering design and contract administration consultancy services for realignments to Haley and Stirling Streets surrounding the commercial precinct. The scope included 4 new roadwork intersections incorporating roundabouts and signalised control. Stormwater control included a management plan to address the 1 in 100 year flood paths for the Bunbury CBD along with civil infrastructure upstream and through the site to control flow rates and impact on downstream services.
BHP Reinforcing - Rooflift
This project in Herdsman transformed an old building into a leasable factory. By introducing a new top chord over the existing structure. Pritchard Francis removed two thirds of the internal columns by modifying individual saw tooth trusses into one parallel chord truss. Once six 9m spans had been converted into two 27m spans for the complete length of the building, the 5,400m² roof was then lifted from 5.5m up to 9m. This total project, including recladding, cost $900,000
Thomas Street Underpass
During the early 1990’s Pritchard Francis initiated, prepared feasibility studies for, designed, documented and project managed a series of difficult tunnel projects under existing, busy, inner-city streets. Pedestrian deaths at the sites, and a failure by others to product feasible solutions, let to the firm’s involvement. The Pritchard Francis alternative design solutions for these projects were less than half the cost of more traditional solutions and each of the four projects was completed on time
Holiday Inn Burswood
is project consisted of a 10 storey Holiday Inn Hotel with additional car parking for the Burswood Resort. The hotel contained approximately 260 rooms, a restaurant, pool terrace and two levels of car parking.
The project was constructed employing a mixture of pre-cast and in-situ concrete and was optimised for rapid erection once the formation of typical floors commenced. A piled foundation was necessary due to the challenging foundation material.
