The challenge
The congested residential setting constrained bulk deliveries and removals. Site investigations completed by others proved inaccurate, and uncharted foundations were encountered during excavation.
Delivery
Daily and weekly planning workshops coordinated deliveries, removals and interfaces with the other contractors. Sheet piling supported the excavation, dewatering was maintained, and uncharted obstructions were addressed within the works sequence.
Safety & quality
Deep drainage was installed inside trench boxes, cable routes received slab protection before backfilling, and contaminated soil was handled under controlled conditions.
Outcome
The completed package delivered the bulk earthworks, supported excavations, crane bases and underground services required for the next stage of construction.
