AMP Building, South Australia

Hansen Yuncken was appointed to construct AMP’s headquarters on Adelaide’s King William Street. Continuing to pioneer new construction methods, particularly on the Communications House in Melbourne, where it deployed two newly purchased Favco tower cranes.

With the ability to extend themselves upwards as required, the cranes were particularly useful on tight city sites with limited ground space, where they offered many advantages over the older stiff legged type.

These two projects also boasted the company’s first passenger hoists on multi storey construction sites and new concrete pumps.
