The building has difficult founding conditions with a heritage listed building on one of its boundaries. Robert Bird Group provided a full civil, structural and construction engineering service from project inception.
Significant and interesting aspects of the project and Robert Bird Group’s role include the following:
- Large span post-tensioned concrete floors utilising steel pan formwork for rapid construction.
- Perimeter column jump system to decrease floor to floor cycle times.
- Efficient lateral system consisting of cantilever core, integral shear wall linking primary load carrying elements through service zones, and perimeter frame action.
- Is constructed adjacent to a heritage listed structure and as such features a carefully designed soldier pier retention system and a carefully considered construction methodology.
