PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS

Tomkins delivered a purpose-built warehouse, office and showroom facility for Miele Australia at Brisbane Airport Corporation’s Export Park precinct. Constructed under a Design and Construct contract, the development comprises a 6,000m² warehouse and a 1,056m² multi-function building incorporating a showroom, technical services area and dispatch office.

The project is the latest in a successful, ongoing relationship between Tomkins and Brisbane Airport Corporation, and demonstrates Tomkins’ capability to deliver technically complex, brand-critical facilities within an active airport environment.

Situated within Brisbane Airport Corporation’s Export Park precinct and in close proximity to the Brisbane domestic terminal, the project demanded careful management of construction activities throughout the programme. Tomkins reduced the number of concrete pours required by adopting a dual feed approach, with pours scheduled in the early hours of the morning to manage slab quality, minimise wind-related cracking risk and limit noise and traffic disruption to the surrounding precinct.

The technical services area presented significant coordination challenges. Purpose-built for Miele’s appliance testing and repair operations, the area required a precise set-out of fixed benching, overhanging power points and roof services, along with multiple water, power and gas connection points to service domestic bays, vacuum bays and a double professional bay. Ongoing coordination between trades was essential to deliver the area to Miele’s operational requirements.

The facade treatment reflects Miele’s brand identity directly in the architecture. External elements were custom-fabricated and powder-coated to match Miele’s signature red, requiring close collaboration with suppliers and careful sequencing to achieve the finished result. Work outside standard hours was undertaken where necessary to maintain programme and meet the client’s expectations.

The Miele facility at Brisbane Airport delivers a fully integrated warehouse, technical services and showroom operation from a single purpose-built campus. With 7,056m² of combined floor area and a facade designed to reflect Miele's brand, the project strengthens Brisbane Airport Corporation's Export Park as a destination for premium international tenants and marks another successful delivery by Tomkins within the airport estate.
