today:

Looks like they might be doing some sort of tunnel or something under the road at the back there.

Orfeo · May 12th, 2010, 06:16 AM

That's the services tunnel.

Basement levels have been approved, so can get underway shortly. The rest of the building is still in negotiations.

Hopefully it blocks the carpark at night, the place has about 100 times more lights than it needs...

This morning

ck5 · June 19th, 2010, 06:26 AM

This morn. By volume, this would have to be the biggest excavation in Brissy at the moment...

TOCC · June 19th, 2010, 09:31 AM

definetly if you factor in the extra excavation they had to do for the new carpark behind it

Macca-GC · June 21st, 2010, 04:29 AM

How deep are they going to go?

Orfeo · June 21st, 2010, 08:43 AM

^
there's 4 basement levels, bit over 12m below stanely street

very hypnotic/distracting to watch them excavate from the kiddies outpatients rooms.

BNE QLD · June 22nd, 2010, 08:48 AM

Oh well at least the kids have something alternative to watch than the TV

Some could imagine they were in there digging out the soil and so on, so yes it could become hypnotic to watch

Alas in that last pic there seems to be a lot of sand and even some richer darker soils. I was thinking there would be a lot of rock there too being near a hill...

Crane was being erected today.

Orfeo · July 26th, 2010, 09:34 AM

for those that don't like the green paneled faccade of the carpark, quite a bit of it is going to be covered up by the new power building for the QCH. This happens to be right next to the current Qld Leukaemia association housing, which of course are choosing to move, freeing up space for the research building.

Macca-GC · July 29th, 2010, 11:18 AM

Went past this one this arvo. It's a decent sized crane, but it looks like they're leaving space for other crane(s).

its incredible how much this area has been 'densified' over the past 10years

Aussie Bhoy · September 25th, 2010, 08:26 AM

Funny also to think that a very large percentage of Brisbane were probably born at the Mater Mothers on the hill.

JVogt · September 25th, 2010, 08:55 AM

I was!

Orfeo · October 6th, 2010, 08:07 AM

If you believe their advertising the Mater mothers has the most deliveries of any hospital in Australia.

The QCH is coming along nicely, excavation looks like it's done, 1 of the lift cores is poured and the other one doesn't look like it has too much more to go.

Yossie99 · October 7th, 2010, 01:42 AM

Just had a chat with an elderly office staff at the elevator, she reckons that the QCH is nothing but one big catholic conspiracy. She's yet to work out the semantics of the plot but will update me once Magda from the local parish has heard from her brother who works for the council.
