PROJECT HIGHLIGHT

Symex Plant 
14 Woodruff St, Port Melbourne

Rafferty the Wrecker undertook extensive demolition and asbestos removal at the former Symex soap factory in Port Melbourne, a 34,900 m² industrial site featuring structures up to seven storeys high. Works included friable and non-friable asbestos removal, demolition of industrial buildings and plant, and removal of redundant services and underground structures.

 

Two heritage buildings were carefully retained for future repurposing, while approximately 95% of materials removed from the site were recycled, with plant and equipment also repurposed through auctions and sales.
