Aurora Apartments

At 86 stories high, Aurora Apartments are one of the tallest towers in Melbourne’s Core Business District.

Introba (formerly Integral Group) provided the fire engineering services for the residential and mixed-use development and its connection pathway to the neighboring food and retail precinct at Melbourne Central Station.

Using lifts for evacuation was essential to the complex fire engineering strategy to ensure upper floor residents could evacuate rapidly and safely. The lift evacuation system was developed with a holistic building-wide egress strategy. This also incorporated refuge areas, pressurized lift lobbies, and a fire-separated split scissor stair arrangement that managed egress redundancy.

A staged hand-over of this project allowed lower floors to be occupied while the building was constructed. The fire engineering team developed interim strategies to mitigate the fire safety risk over the lengthy construction period.
