  • Foundation Piling

A new commercial development in the heart of Melbourne’s Southbank area between Freshwater Place and Eureka Tower, this Fender Katsalidis Architects-designed development added 12 levels of commercial space to an existing nine-level public carpark. The structure was completed two months ahead of schedule and the anchor tenant arrived in early 2017.

Our Role

Geotech was engaged to design and construct continuous flight auger piles (CFA) as foundations for the new structure. These were confined to the new cores located at each end of the existing carpark structure. With close proximity to the Yarra River, all piles were founded at depths of 26-32m through a very deep profile of Coode Island Silt. Geotech managed the logistics of its largest CFA piling plant in and around the very restricted forecourts of Eureka Tower, Freshwater Place and the tunnel carpark entrance to Crown Casino on Southbank Boulevard. A rigorous program of pile dynamic load testing verified the performance of the foundations.

Disciplines covered

  • CFA Piling – 100 total (900mm dia)
