Key advantages

Hands-on engagement across design, prototyping and material testing kept the compliance pathway aligned with real-world construction methods, achieving a compliant initial build and a smooth path to project start-up.

Design codes

• AS3600 Concrete Structures
• AS4100 Steel Structures
• AS2870 Residential Slabs & Footings

Key advantages

Temporary retaining systems were designed to enable safe basement excavation, and direct engagement with neighbouring stakeholders secured the approvals needed to proceed.

Key documents

• Operational Environmental Management Plan
• Soil & Water Management Plan
• Rehabilitation Plan
• Blasting Plan

Key advantages

Coordinated stakeholder engagement across planners, engineers, council and Transport for NSW resolved scope adjustments and kept the approvals process on track.

NCC performance requirements addressed

• Structural stability & resistance
• Weatherproofing
• Rising damp
• Spread of fire
• Wet areas
• Sound insulation

Key advantages

The performance-based pathway allowed a non-DTS material — stabilised rammed earth — to be used with confidence for an internal partition wall.

Design codes

• AS/NZS 5100:2017 Bridge Design Series
• SM1600 Traffic Loading for Bridges
• TfNSW QA Spec B80 Concrete Work for Bridges

Key advantages

Geotechnical report review informed structural recommendations; managed procurement for design and construction contracts while overseeing budget, timeline and quality assurance.

Design codes

• Austroads Design Guidelines

Key advantages

34% survey cost savings via aerial survey with no measurable loss of data quality. Fully parametric AutoCAD Civil 3D model gave end-to-end interoperability from survey data to deliverables.

Audit codes

• Disability (Access to Premises) Standards 2010
• NCC Sections C, D, F & G

Key advantages

Thorough investigation and recommendations enabled a risk-managed approach to compliance upgrades.

Design codes

• AS2159 Piled Footings Design & Installation
• AS3600 Concrete Structures

Key advantages

Rapid redesign after an historic weir structure was found below bed level. Scrutiny of sub-contractor geotechnical data saved the head D&C contractor $0.5 million by avoiding overly conservative design.

Design codes

• AS1720 Timber Structures

Key advantages

BIM with finite element modelling and a custom design methodology achieved structural adequacy within project constraints, including mandated non-conventional materials and specific aesthetic criteria.

Design codes

• AS1289 series geotechnical test methods

Key advantages

Thorough soil parameter analysis achieved maximum reuse of material won onsite and minimum pavement depths, delivering significant cost savings along the road.

Design codes

• AS1547 Onsite Domestic Wastewater Management
• EPA Victoria Code of Practice — On-Site Wastewater Management 2016

Key advantages

100% compliance achieved across all land application sites. A 20% scope increase was delivered within the original project timeframe through rapid rescheduling.

Design codes

• Protection of the Environment Operations (Underground Petroleum Storage Systems) Regulation 2019

Key advantages

Rapid response prevented significant project delay. A strong lab relationship secured a 3-day weekend test turnaround, letting works continue with minimal delay and cost.

Design codes

• Managing Urban Stormwater: Soils & Construction — Vol 2E, Mines & Quarries
• AS1726 Geological Site Investigations

Key advantages

Combining site investigation with a parametric AutoCAD Civil 3D model achieved maximum extraction volume with minimal soil and water management infrastructure.
