Australian logistics giant Linfox, is set to improve freight management in the nation’s top end, engaging Vaughan for the design and construction of their North Star project.
This new intermodal facility east of Darwin, follows on from the successful completion of two major facilities by Vaughan for Linfox in Western Australia.
North Star sits on a 21,500m2 development site in East Arm, just 16kms east of Darwin’s CBD. Within close proximity to the Port and with direct access to the Darwin Rail Freight Terminal, the project once completed will reduce cargo handling, for faster distribution across the country.
Detailed value engineering exercises and carefully planned energy efficient design initiatives by Vaughan has provided Linfox with a seven per cent construction cost saving, a considerable amount given Linfox’s long term property ownership strategy.
As the ABS reports a decline in construction activity across the state for the six quarters to June 2016, the North Star project is good news for local trades and contractors who will benefit directly from the new build.
The North Star project reinforces Vaughan’s position as a leader in the Design and Construct market in Australia’s north. Having previously completed two other projects for Northline and Cahill Transport within the East Arm precinct, 糖心vlog官网 is delighted to be directly involved in the region’s growth.
