This high profile Public-Private Partnership (PPP) development involved Federal, State and Local Government authorities as well as the Plenary Health consortium and an array of local stakeholders.  A particular challenge of our work involved the surrounding Parkville Biomedical Precinct and close proximity of operating hospitals and medical centres.  As a result, our ability to effectively engage stakeholders and to implement effective emissions, noise and vibration controls was paramount. Other key achievement included:

  •  Excavation of 300,000 sqm of spoil and construction of a 6 level (25 metre) basement – the largest excavaton undertaken in Australia since 2007.
  • 3,000 sqm of detailed excavation for pad footings.
  • 7,000 cubic metres of shotcrete retention walls.
  • 4.5 metre deep cor raft.
  • 260 deep bored retention piles, as will as 500 post tension retention anchors and 1,100 tensioned nails.
  • 3,000t of slab preparation.
