Working with Tim Stewart Architects for Position Developments, this project is a new medium density, five storey residential building with a basement carpark on grade located in Macgregor. The site is constrained by single storey residential dwellings on two sides and a light industrial property to the rear of the site.
WGE structural and civil teams needed to liaise with the architect to ensure a shoring wall system, transformer, fire pump room and a detention tank could all be accommodated in the basement without compromising on the number of carpark spaces.
The typical structure consists of reinforced concrete floor slab supported on reinforced masonry walls. Post tensioned beam solution was adopted for the podium level to allow for the change in support lines required to suit a carpark layout.
