This was an extremely sensitive project to commence, manual demolition of a concrete staircase within the confines of the Australian Museum. The entire corridor of the work area was encapsulated with air locks and negative air pressure systems. The subsequent waste egress areas the GBAR Group used were also protected with air scrubbers.
The project was conducted at night as the Museum was still operational, the work area was directly adjacent museum artefacts and sensitive dioramas. All demolition and clean-up work had to be completed by 5am each day to ensure cleaners and staff could access other areas of the Museum prior to the facility re-opening.
This project was completed as per program without incident, disruption, or cross contamination to other areas.

The demolition was scheduled at night to avoid disrupting museum operations. This timing allowed the museum to remain open to visitors during the day and minimise the disruption the demolition created. The work area was located directly next to valuable artefacts and sensitive dioramas, requiring careful execution. All demolition and clean-up activities had to be completed by 5 AM each day to ensure that museum cleaners and staff could access other facility areas before they reopened to the public.
Despite the complexities of working in such a sensitive environment, the GBAR Group completed the work as scheduled without incidents or cross-contamination with other museum areas. The team’s strict adherence to safety protocols and effective project management were crucial in maintaining smooth operation throughout demolition.
Client feedback highlighted the project’s success:
