Project Details
Benmax has recently commenced on site at the National Archives of Australia storage facility located in Mitchell, Canberra, having won the mechanical services contract for refurbishment of the building.
The National Archives is an executive agency of the Australian Government and responsible for preserving records that reflect Australian history and identity. Paper records, audio-visual records and a digital archive are all stored at the facility and the building, constructed in 1981, will undergo a major upgrade of its systems to ensure its integrity as a critical climate archival storage facility is maintained. The Benmax team is expected to complete the project in mid-2019.
