A significant project requirement was relocating major infrastructure within the development site to maximise land use for the Marina Development sites. Infrastructure relocation was carefully staged to ensure residential lot projections were achievable. JDSi were also directly involved in the delivery of marina based assets such as revetment walls, beaches, boardwalks and jetties.
Many redundant buildings were demolished to allow creation of new developable lots. The works also required co-ordination with concurrent construction of the new Grandstand, raising several complex interfaces including piling, scaffolding, ground anchors.
As the development was adjacent to the Claremont train station a minimum of 200 car bays were required to be provided at all times. To ensure these parking requirements were maintained throughout the construction works, JDSi designed and costed several options to determine the most appropriate to implement.
Bulk Earthworks design required excavation for basements in accordance with the levels provided by the architects and consideration of the existing verge levels around the site. Environmental testing discovered that a large portion of the site contained uncontrolled fill, which JDSi managed to ensure sites were fit for building construction.
To achieve the Client’s delivery requirements, JDSi fast-tracked the forward works package to proceed to tender within a few months of being appointed as the lead engineer. JDSi liaised with the Water Corporation to progress the approvals process for wastewater and water contracts via mains extension works due to WAPC conditions not yet being available.
JDSi liaised with Police and Community Youth Centre (PCYC), Claremont Football Club, Town of Claremont, WA Police and other relevant authorities to ensure all stakeholders were kept informed of the required works.
