Protecting the Past. Upgrading for the Future.

At the Shrine of Remembrance, GP Bluestone completed major drainage infrastructure works with the technical precision, heritage sensitivity, and reinstatement care required for one of Melbourne’s most important civic landmarks.

Project: Shrine of Remembrance Drainage Upgrade

Client: City of Melbourne

Work Description:

GP Bluestone was proud to deliver the critical drainage upgrade works at the Shrine of Remembrance, one of Melbourne’s most significant heritage sites. The project involved extensive trenching, pipe installation, pit construction, and surface reinstatement, all executed with sensitivity to the historic and landscaped setting.

Working under the guidance of the City of Melbourne, our team carefully coordinated 

works included the installation of reinforced concrete box culverts (RCBC), large diameter RCP and UPVC drainage pipes, new grated pits, and full restoration of pavements and turf. Special attention was given to restoring existing bluestone channels along Birdwood Avenue using original pavers, preserving the site's historic character.

From set out and service proving to final reinstatement and certification, the project was delivered to a high standard of quality and compliance, reflecting GP Bluestone’s commitment to precision, care, and collaboration in civic infrastructure projects.
