September update
Building works are progressing well. It is certainly amazing to see the amount of work involved with all of the sub-structure and underground works that you never see once the slab is poured.
On Tuesday, 10 September, we had our fortnightly site meeting, attended by representatives from Northbuild, Burling Brown Architects, Scott Hopkins (CFO – SDA Head Office), Adrian Fitzpatrick (Principal) and David Peers (Business manager).
Progress on site includes:- Drilling rig continuing bored piers on site - bored piers to building sub-structure have been completed and bored piers to walkways continuing
- Stormwater and sewer have been finalized
- Ground beams and footings well under way
- Plumber completing the installation of under slab services
- New carpark works commenced with cutting and filling to new levels
Enjoy these photos since the last update.
August update
Believe it or not we’re one month into the project! The past couple of weeks have seen further excavation and platform works, the extension of the fire trail with two new hydrants, installation of bored piers which when complete will total 93 for the building footprint, and excavation & installation of sanitary drainage and storm water piping.
July update
Our new Senior Building is underway. Northbuild, a local building contractor, is the successful tenderer and the project time frame is 7-8 months with completion planned for early in 2020. Over the last couple of weeks, the site fencing has been erected and the area cleared. This has been followed by the cutting of the natural ground to platform height.
