Ancon designed and manufactured a bespoke brick support system for this high-rise office development's most striking feature.
The impressive three-sided, perforated brick screen on the corner of the building is supported using Ancon MDC and Ancon CFA support systems fixed back to concrete and steel. The brickwork wraps around a bay projecting from the first level and rising to the fifth floor.
The image below shows where the Ancon CFA system was used, fixed back to the steelwork using Ancon Steelgrip bolts.

A range of other Ancon fixings were used to fix the support systems to the main structure and Ancon AMR Masonry Reinforcement was installed to strengthen the large masonry panels.
The 23-storey AM60 building is located in Brisbane’s Central Business District. The environmental credentials of the building were proved in the design and awarded 5 Stars from the Australian Green Building Council’s Green Star rating system.
