Chemical Upstream Laboratory

GE Chemical Upstream Laboratory situated in Perth is a specialised facility designed to support upstream processing activities, requiring the integration of advanced infrastructure and safety systems. This complex facility required comprehensive layout and engineering solutions tailored for chemical storage, handling and testing.

Actus was tasked to provide architectural and engineering expertise, ensuring seamless integration of the laboratory and strict adherence to AS/NZS 2243 safety protocols. Managing evolving client requirements, Actus ably supported emerging changes to the project plan in support of client needs and provided agile updates to designs as the scope became increasingly complex. Overcoming supply chain disruptions with precise coordination and contingency planning, Actus also gained invaluable experience in managing frequent inspections by relevant regulatory bodies. GE Chemical Upstream Laboratory continues to operate and is an example of the diverse range of projects Actus can accommodate.
