Wilson & Gilkes Manufactures Over 1600 Storage Units For New Woodside Perth Headquarters

Woodside’s new head­quar­ters in Perth is a 32-story building on Mount Street completed by global con­struc­tion company Multiplex. Com­pris­ing over 60,000sqm of net lettable area, the campus-style complex sets a new standard for office fa­cil­i­ties in Perth. It includes a 400-seat au­di­to­ri­um, extensive end of trip and wellness fa­cil­i­ties for employees, open floor plans wholly connected by inter-floor stairs, and a four-story office and future gallery on Mounts Bay Road.

“We were delighted to partner with Woodside and create an en­vi­ron­ment that pri­ori­tis­es the needs of employees, from connected tech­nol­o­gy, flexible meeting spaces and extensive wellness fa­cil­i­ties,” said Chris Palandri, Regional Managing Director of Multiplex WA. “The fit-out provides an optimal workplace that enables employees to thrive and has set a new standard for office fa­cil­i­ties in Australia.”

Between the base build and fit-out, close to 4000 people working over two million man-hours have helped bring the precinct to life.

OFFICE STORAGE

Wilson & Gilkes’ Bosco brand was selected ahead of Italian and Asian man­u­fac­tur­ers to design, man­u­fac­ture and supply more than 1600 storage units for the new Woodside Head­quar­ters.

Storage units in the Woodside fit-out are truly unique designs. A design feature of the entire Woodside project is curved surfaces and as a result, every storage unit in­cor­po­rates curves. This presented sig­nif­i­cant man­u­fac­tur­ing chal­lenges for the Bosco project team. The suc­cess­ful outcome of the team’s col­lab­o­ra­tive efforts was pro­duc­tion of sig­nif­i­cant quan­ti­ties of phys­i­cal­ly large curved units within a tight schedule, to a very high quality standard.

Com­menc­ing in November 2017 Bosco storage units were shipped to Perth in a total of fifteen 20ft con­tain­ers. The final con­sign­ment departed on time from Wilson & Gilkes on 9th February 2018. Every unit of more than 1600 items was quality inspected prior to despatch and no rejects have been iden­ti­fied at the Perth site.
