Exoskeleton milestone for remarkable Jubilee Place

The unique structure of landmark Brisbane development, Jubilee Place has reached a momentous milestone. The final upright sections of the diagrid exoskeleton have been installed, bringing the distinctive outer structure to its highest point. The diagrid exoskeleton design was adopted by architects Blight Raynor and engineered by Robert Bird Group, in consultation with BESIX Watpac’s inhouse engineering department, to overcome two major site constraints. The first was to minimise the load on the Clem 7 tunnels beneath the site and to allow the new building to cantilever over the top of the historic and heritage-listed Jubilee Hotel.
