HistoryBased in Brisbane, the company was formed in 1910 by Daniel Edward Evans and Arthur Joseph Deakin.[1] The company started out as a supplier of engineering equipment.[1] The first workshop was acquired in 1913.[1] The company later became Evans Deakin Industries (EDI). In 1980 EDI purchased Maryborough rolling stock manufacturer Walkers Limited. In July 1996 EDI purchased locomotive manufacturer Clyde Engineering.[2][3] In March 2001 EDI was acquired by Downer & Company, with the resulting merger being renamed Downer EDI.[4][5] Between World War I and World War II, Evans Deakin was involved in the fabrication of 300 railway wagons for Queensland Government Railways, the manufacture of steel components for the Story Bridge, and the introduction of oxy-acetylene and electric arc welding to Queensland.[1] Kangaroo Point shipyardAt the start of World War II, the company established a shipyard at Kangaroo Point on the Brisbane River taking over the Queensland Government's lease of Moar's Slipway beside Cairns Street ({{Coord|-27.4727|153.0379|type:landmark_region:AU-QLD|display=inline|name=Evans Deakin Kangaroo Point shipyard}}) (which was then owned by the Brisbane City Council).[1][7] The company developed the site for the construction of military and merchant vessels.[8] In January 1940 the first ship to be built at the Evans Deakin shipyard was announced. The ship was the first 1200-ton oil fuel lighter for the Royal Australian Navy, which was then using 500-ton oil fuel lighters. Named the Rocklea, it cost {{Australian pound|38,947||}} and pumps to enable the rapid re-fuelling of warships.[9] A major expansion at the Kangaroo Point site when the Frank Nicklin Dry Dock was constructed costing {{AUD|3.4 million}} of which {{AUD|1.5 million}} was contributed by the Queensland Government. The dock was {{Convert|800|ft|}} long, {{Convert|115|ft|}} wide and {{Convert|21|ft|}} deep and could handle vessels up to 60,000 tons. The dock could be filled in 6 hours and emptied in 23 hours.[10] The dock was officially opened in July 1967 by Queensland Premier Frank Nicklin after whom the dock was named. In his speech, Nicklin said it was important that Australian developed greater shipbuilding capabilities as Australia had been isolated from large shipbuilding countries during the two world wars, which was compounded by Britain's withdrawal from the Far East.[11] Nicklin then pressed a button allowing the water from the Brisbane River to flow into the dock. The company built the largest ship ever made on the Brisbane River, the oil tanker Robert Miller.[8] Its construction was nearly complete when it broke free of its mooring during the 1974 Brisbane flood. The final vessel constructed at Kangaroo Point was the oil rig, Southern Cross in 1976.[8] The Evans Deakin shipyard constructed 81 ships between 1940 and its closure in 1976,[1] including eleven {{sclass-|Bathurst|corvette|2}} After being left vacant for a number of years, in 1988 the shipyard was redeveloped as a hotel and apartment complex called Dockside. One of the dry docks was retained as a marina.[12] There is a monument to the Evans Deakin shipyards in Captain Burke Park (at the eastern end of Holman Street) on the tip of Kangaroo Point ({{Coord|-27.4657|153.0367|type:landmark_region:AU_QLD|display=inline|name=Evan Deakins monument}}); this is further north than the original site of the shipyards.[13] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{cite book|last=McDonald|first=LH|title=Australian Dictionary of Biography|volume=8|pages=445–6|chapter=Evans, Daniel Edward (1885 - 1951)|url=http://adbonline.anu.edu.au/biogs/A080470b.htm|accessdate=3 May 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110305004619/http://adbonline.anu.edu.au/biogs/A080470b.htm|archive-date=2011-03-05|dead-url=no|df=}} 2. ^Clyde Industries Limited delisted.com.au 3. ^"EDI Wins Clyde Takeover Battle" Railway Digest September 1996 page 10 4. ^Evans Deakin Industries Limited {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140106164648/http://www.delisted.com.au/company/evans-deakin-industries-limited |date=2014-01-06 }} delisted.com.au 5. ^Annual Report 30 June 2001 {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140106170546/http://www.downergroup.com/Documents/Investors/AGM,-Financial-Results--Reports/200001/Annual-Report/2001_ANNUAL_REPORT_20080811044448.pdf |date=January 6, 2014 }} Downer EDI 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.navy.gov.au/hmas-ipswich-i|title=HMAS Ipswich (I)|last=|first=|date=|website=|publisher=Sea Power Centre Australia|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180830012738/http://www.navy.gov.au/hmas-ipswich-i|archive-date=30 August 2018|dead-url=no|accessdate=30 August 2018}} 7. ^{{cite news|url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article40869545|title=SHIPBUILDING SITES HERE|date=6 April 1940|newspaper=The Courier-mail|accessdate=30 August 2018|issue=2057|location=Queensland, Australia|page=8|via=National Library of Australia}} 8. ^1 2 3 {{cite book |title=Brisbane 150 Stories|author=McBride, Frank|year=2009|publisher=Brisbane City Council Publication|isbn=978-1-876091-60-6|pages=250–251|display-authors=etal}} 9. ^{{cite news|url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article40872127|title=£38,947 Naval Ship To Be Built Here|date=19 January 1940|newspaper=The Courier-mail|accessdate=30 August 2018|issue=1991|location=Queensland, Australia|page=1|via=National Library of Australia}} 10. ^{{Cite web|title=Design and Construction of the Frank Nicklin shipbuilding dock|last=Karamisheff|first=E.W.|last2=McArthur|first2=R.J.|publisher=ResearchGate|date=October 1969|accessdate=30 August 2018}} 11. ^{{cite news|url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article106968231|title=Big new dry dock opened in Brisbane|date=22 July 1967|newspaper=The Canberra Times|accessdate=30 August 2018|issue=11,747|location=Australian Capital Territory, Australia|volume=41,|page=17|via=National Library of Australia}} 12. ^{{Cite web|url=http://moretonview.com/local-surrounds/history/|title=History|last=|first=|date=|website=Moreton View Tower and Villas|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180830005952/http://moretonview.com/local-surrounds/history/|archive-date=30 August 2018|dead-url=no|access-date=30 August 2018}} 13. ^{{Cite web|url=http://monumentaustralia.org.au/themes/technology/industry/display/95739-evans-deakin-|title=Evans Deakin|last=|first=|date=|website=Monument Australia|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180830011305/http://monumentaustralia.org.au/themes/technology/industry/display/95739-evans-deakin-|archive-date=30 August 2018|dead-url=no|access-date=30 August 2018}} Further reading
