Overview
The Eastern Precinct Landscape project was completed in time for the 2016 academic year at Monash University’s Clayton Campus. The project’s scope included four new state-of-the-art student accommodation, the external works package including demolition, bulk earthworks, drainage, formwork, structures and shelters, carpentry, roads as well as hard and soft landscape and irrigation. The final stage of this complex and challenging project was the centrepiece of the University, Campus Park.
Enclosed by over 250m of custom in-situ concrete and timber seating is over 4,000m2 of new, fully-functional instant turf playable area. Housed beneath this is a large harvested stormwater tank to provide reticulated irrigation throughout the precinct.
With the external works contract in excess of $15m+ worth of scope, which was required to be delivered in just over six months this proved to be an incredible feat by our team. We achieved this by working on a seven-day week working calendar with two shifts.
