Kane Constructions Celebrates Award-Winning Queenscliff Ferry Terminal Project

25th November, 2024

We are proud to announce that our Queenscliff Searoad Ferries Terminal project has been awarded the National Master Builders Commercial/Industrial Construction Award in the $10-20 Million category. This national recognition is a testament to the exceptional skill, dedication, and innovation of our entire team.

The Queenscliff Ferry Terminal was a complex challenge that required us to push the boundaries of engineering, design, and project management. This state-of-the-art maritime terminal not only serves the community but has also become a landmark of construction and architectural excellence.

The Challenge

Our primary objective was to deliver this cutting-edge facility while maintaining the uninterrupted operation of a busy vehicle ferry service. This involved executing a complete demolition of the existing terminal and delivering the reconstruction with zero disruption to critical transportation infrastructure.

The terminal stands as a testament to our commitment to excellence with the key features:

  • A striking stainless-steel façade that captures the maritime spirit
  • An innovative roof design featuring 20-meter-long cantilevers
  • Custom-rolled 415 grade stainless steel sheets that create unique architectural curves
  • Sophisticated operational features including advanced passenger flow monitoring and security screening

More Than Just a Terminal

We transformed a functional space into a multi-purpose venue that serves as:

  • A critical transportation hub
  • A versatile event space
  • A destination with integrated café and dining facilities

A Team Effort

This award is not just a recognition of our technical capabilities, but a celebration of our team's unwavering commitment. Throughout the project, our team demonstrated extraordinary skill in:

  • Precision engineering
  • Strategic project management
  • Innovative problem-solving
  • Maintaining operational continuity

Gratitude and Commitment

We extend thanks to:

  • The Searoad Ferries team for their trust and collaboration
  • The dedicated project & consulting team who went above and beyond
  • Our subcontractors who tirelessly delivered this project
  • The National Master Builders Association for this incredible recognition
  • The local Geelong community who continue to support us in delivering amazing projects across the region

This award reinforces our commitment to delivering exceptional infrastructure that serves and inspires the Geelong community.
