Multiple landmarks in the Adelaide CBD have been built using the potentially risky Aluminium Composite Cladding similar to that used in London’s Grenfell Tower, which tragically burned down last year.
According to an audit update released by the government on Thursday:
“Four high profile buildings were prioritised for immediate Phase Two investigation given their significance to the state.
“The NRAH, the Adelaide Convention Centre, Women’s and Children’s Hospital and Adelaide Oval have all been subject to comprehensive desktop reviews, site inspections by a qualified Fire Engineer and the MFS, and assessment with the South Australia Life Safety Analysis Tool.
“All four buildings received ratings of either low or moderate risk which indicates that should a façade fire event occur, there are sufficient in-built life safety provisions.”
