flood assessment

Hydrexia's lab went under... Water fully submerged our prototype cage (therefore cannot be seen in the picture) and up to the roof of the little building behind our lab. It went to about 1m deep in our workshop/lab level. Rumour confirmed, the building is going to be demolished and hence... breath in... no lab. Till we build a new one in YP.
How close our Yeerongpilly office got to being flooded... The flood water was separated only by the street infront of our premise.
Picture taken in Rocklea, on the train ride home from work on Friday 14 Jan. The water had started to recede.
The most shocking pics are of the chemical storage cage where all our waste material were moved to. Both in terms of wot the flood had deposited over there and also of wot it had carried away with it. Not suitable for public eyes XD Nah... just havn't got hold of the pics :P

But I do get this one~ True Aussie spirit ;)

how come need to demolish building? more expensive to clean up than rebuild or just want to give everyone a fair go, ie. job?

dunno... think the foundation is made of wood. we'd got termites problems before. it's the decision from uni of queensland whom we leased the property from.
