OUR GOLD COAST PRACTICE
ADG Gold Coast is a multi-disciplinary engineering practice of 40+ engineers and design technicians, offering consultancy across structural, civil and infrastructure, construction services, and digital engineering.
Our team has delivered projects across Queensland and nationally, working across transport infrastructure, commercial and residential, tourism and leisure, defence and justice, and master planning. The Gold Coast is one of Australia’s fastest-growing regions, and that growth brings genuinely complex engineering challenges: dense urban development, sensitive coastal environments, and infrastructure that needs to keep pace with a rapidly expanding community.
As ADG’s founding practice, the Gold Coast is where our story began. The relationships and reputation built here over many years carry through to how every ADG team around the country approaches its work. We also have a specialist in-house team dedicated to theme parks and surf parks, a capability that reflects both our local roots and the unique demands of leisure and entertainment infrastructure on the Gold Coast and beyond.
Clients return because they trust the people, and because the outcomes speak for themselves.

PROJECT SUMMARY
Destination Gold Coast Tower 1 is a new 54-level tower that will include a luxury hotel, residential apartments, and retail space making it the first mixed use precinct on Broadbeach Island. There are 7 levels of podium retail and carpark with connecting link bridge to the existing Star Casino. The upper level podium is a landscaped recreation deck including gym and pool.
ADG are providing all structural design and documentation and the proposed solution incorporates prestressed concrete floors throughout.
Due to the slenderness of the structure ADG developed an innovative solution incorporating a vertically prestressed concrete core to enhance lateral stiffness and reduce reinforcement congestion.
