This mixed residential and commercial development consisted of a total of 686 residential apartments, anchored by 11,500 m2 of retail space, including retail, dining, medical and childcare facilities, all adjacent to Rhodes Station. The technical structure and impressive height were no challenge for Austral SF as we approached the 39 level project rigorously through our safety and construction methodologies, with minimal lost time and injury.
On level 8, the cantilever transfer slab was supported by an 8-storey column at 2 meters in diameter. 160 tonnes of steel went into this particular element of work to help support the remaining 31 storeys.
A heliostat was installed on the roof of this 39 storey building. It’s an elevated 6 storey high horseshoe-shaped structure purposely engineered and built provide natural light for the adjacent buildings on the southern side of the main building. We reinforced the base of the structure, with over 83 tonnes going into the base footings, pads and slab.
