Unique Attributes

Staged early works to support staged construction of six residential and commercial towers up to 225m high across 20,000m2+ site footprint
Innovative methodologies employed to overcome challenging geotech conditions, including heavy lifts in/on poor (and unstable) ground

Key Challenges

Excavation and construction of core rafts in challenging Coode Island Silt and poor ground conditions up to 7m below ground and 6m below the water table
Ground water management and site dewatering – mandatory that existing levels were maintained due to adjacent structures/towers as well as major transport infrastructure within metres of the site (CityLink Tunnel)
