PROJECT
Ashfield, NSW
Bridgecrete Group was engaged to undertake complex structural remediation works to a residential apartment building in Ashfield, NSW. The project involved replacing a severely deteriorated reinforced concrete slab that had suffered extensive concrete cancer and was deemed beyond repair.
Due to the slab supporting load-bearing walls and four storeys of residential apartments above, the works required detailed engineering, careful planning, and staged construction to ensure the structural stability of the building was maintained throughout the project.
PROTECT. RESTORE. STRENGTHEN.
Scope of Works
Structural assessment and methodology development in conjunction with the project engineer.
Temporary structural support and load management.
Controlled demolition and removal of the failed reinforced concrete slab.
Installation of galvanised structural steel shelf angles.
Installation of Bondek permanent formwork.
Reinforcement installation in accordance with engineering specifications.
Placement of 40 MPa structural concrete.
Full reinstatement and refurbishment of the affected residential unit to match existing finishes.
Quality assurance testing and final project handover.
Project Challenges
This was a highly complex structural remediation project undertaken within an occupied residential apartment building. The deteriorated slab was located inside a private unit and directly above a common property car park. The slab also supported load-bearing walls carrying four levels of apartments above.
Bridgecrete Group worked closely with the project’s structural engineer to develop a safe construction methodology that maintained the building’s structural integrity while minimising disruption to residents. All demolition, structural steel installation, concrete placement, and reinstatement works were carefully staged and completed in accordance with the engineer’s design and strict safety requirements.
Outcome
The completed works restored the building envelope, resolved long-standing waterproofing issues, and significantly improved the durability, appearance and value of the property. Through careful staging and planning, Bridgecrete Group successfully delivered the project while minimising disruption to residents and maintaining the highest standards of workmanship, safety and quality.
