RE-ADAPTING SITES FOR FUTURE USE
INDUSTRIAL HERITAGE
It’s no coincidence that Artefact’s head office is located on Jones Bay Wharf in Pyrmont. Completed in 1920 the wharf is a terrific example of industrial heritage. Originally designed to export wool and wheat, then used to process troops in the Second World War and later migrants to Australia, Jones Bay Wharf has many stories to tell.
In fact, when you visit us, you’ll see remnants of the wharf’s industrial past including rail lines, cranes and gantries.
What we love is that the wharf, now reborn as offices and cafes, has been designed in such a way as to maximize the heritage value of the site.
Our passion for heritage places is just one reason why Artefact is proud to offer consultancy advice to our clients who are looking to re-adapt former sites of industry for contemporary use.
Led by experienced industrial archaeology and heritage expert Dr Iain Stuart you can be assured that your project will be in good hands. Iain has worked on industrial sites ranging from boat building, dockyard cranes, coal loaders, coke works, grain silos, warehouses, airfields, railways, coal mining, copper mining, gold mining and brickworks.
Iain’s expertise has recently been utilised on a variety of high-profile projects such as:
- Central Station (assessment of railway turntable, goods shed, locomotive shed and gas works dating from 1850s to 1890s)
- NorthConnex (managing impacts to the 1910 Thornleigh Maltworks)
- Sydney Football Stadium (assessment of Busby’s Bore water supply system from the 1830s)
- Morwell Power Station (management of heritage assets from the 1950s)
- Bays Precinct (salvage archaeology work on the White Bay railway turntable and locomotive shed dating from 1910s to 1930s)
- CBD and South East Light Rail (assessment of the 1860s tank stream and early service utilities such as roads, tramways and drainage systems)
Whether you’re a developer, architect, construction company, government department, local council or landowner looking to adapt a site for a new purpose we are here to help with a broad range of services including:
- Detailed site histories
- Site inspection and survey
- Archival recording
- Concepts for restoration and interpretation
- Site activation strategies
- Material analysis
Teamwork
When you bring an Industrial Heritage project to Artefact, you’ll not only benefit from our passion and drive to deliver quality outcomes, you’ll also gain access to broad expertise in architecture and built environment, Aboriginal and historical archaeology, interpretation and design as well as environmental assessments.
Iain and his team look forward to discussing your plans. We’re here to help.
