Canberra International Airport & Aquatic Centre

Man has been building structures since the dawn of time and still can’t make one that is waterproof.
Must be time to give sheilas a go…

Sounds about right, remember the Canberra Centre after that hail storm with the new section. Oh and the old section! DJs included

That was some bloody storm, though! Our house copped it too, I thought we had it bad until I saw Civic the next morning.

Seems about par for the course for anything built in this town in the last decade (or two).
The new undercover carpark at Belco Mall had so much precipitation it was as though there was no cover at all.

To be fair, the section shown in the photo is the temporary section linking the new terminal to the virgin blue section of the old terminal.

It was hardly designed to be a perm structure. Whilst water proofing was probably desirable, very few people could have predicted the amount of rain we have received over the last few months.

I hear that the new multi-storey car park at Canberra Hospital leaked into the electrical gear, delaying the opening of the bottom few floors.

As long as the new leather lounges aren’t damaged 😀
