Basement Construction
Extensive site investigations led the way for a number of site-specific, cost-efficient solutions for the construction of the below-water basements.
Suspended Roadway Design and Civil Infrastructure
Planning and design of urban infrastructure to provided efficient access in a highly trafficked area.
Permanent Basement Walls
In conjunction with the subcontractor, Robert Bird Group developed a basement wall system suitable for the poor ground conditions for use as a shoring wall during construction and a permanent basement wall in the completed building. A bentonite cement slurry wall cut off groundwater during construction, and enabled the driving of bored piers through it to provide structural support.
Efficient Multi-Storey Design
The multi-storey residential and commercial buildings at King Street Wharf feature cutting-edge structural systems and products, including profile decking for slabs, post-tensioning, and full-frame lateral stability systems.
