SAHMRI: South Australian Health and Medical Research Insititute

This new health and medical research facility is being built on North Terrace next to the new Royal Adelaide Hospital site (NRAH) in Adelaide's west end. The world class medical research facility will be a modern and striking new iconic building housing up to 675 researchers encouraging innovation and improvement in health services which should benefit the whole community. The new building has a diamond shape rising above a North Terrace plaza as a suspended "pod" and features a transparent dia-grid facade inspired by the skin of a pine cone. Engineering Surveys is proud to be providing survey services for all elements of structural construction for this challenging project.
