At Barnawartha North, a next-generation logistics hub is now complete — purpose-built to keep freight moving seamlessly across Regional NSW, Victoria, and beyond. For O’Brien Logistics, this flagship facility is more than just a warehouse — it’s an operational engine designed for efficiency, speed, and scale.

Project Highlights

• 40m clear-span super-awning!
• 20,000㎡ warehouse
• 850㎡ admin building with amenities
• 21,000㎡ hardstand pavement & carpark
• 2 dock offices & 5 loading docks

At Griffiths Engineers Australia, our role was to make the complex invisible:

• Warehouses that stand firm, cost effectively for their design life
• Pavements that carry the load, cost effectively without trouble for their design life
• Docks that operate smoothly, facilitating the logistics requirements

Drawing on the Griffiths teams’ 50+ years delivering for the Industrial Market, and 250 years of combined expertise: Behind every drawing lies hours of foresight, problem-solving, and precision.
