Mossop Construction contracted Delta Group to deliver a civil and demolition works programme to support the development of a new state-of-the-art Aged Care facility in suburban Adelaide.

Our scope of works included:

• Remediation of the asbestos fragments from site setting up asbestos work areas and hand picking the non-friable asbestos under asbestos conditions.
• Constructing piling pad for bored piles, capping beams and shotcrete wall.
• Demolition of existing piles and saw-cutting existing capping to provide an opening from new basement to existing basement.
• Bulk excavating 16,000t of soil for a new basement.
• Excavating, shaping and preparing all external pavement and landscaped areas.
• Preparing and pouring new DPTI specification concrete kerbing and back filling with deep lift asphalt along a major DPTI arterial road under traffic control.

Unique attributes and site specific challenges involved:

• Existing live underground services.
• Multiple trades in staged format to complete the works – plumbers, concreters, landscapers.
• Major DPTI arterial road with an average traffic volume 15,000 vehicles per day.
• Fully operational nursing home and care facilities.
• Congested location – extensive traffic management and coordination of works (including loading and carting of 16,000t of soil) for off-peak hours between 9am to 4pm.

The project was delivered on time, on budget and without incident.
