Gateway to Thornleigh provides excellent infill logistics space in Sydney’s north, surrounded by population and close to amenity and transport hubs.

Over 20,000m³ of cut and fill was required, with fill areas up to 6m high. Remediation involved both off-site removal and on-site containment. Service upgrades included two substations, stormwater and sewer connections, and new links for gas, NBN and Telstra infrastructure.

The structural steel was designed in Australia and detailed in China. Lift shafts and retaining walls were redesigned in precast concrete, with shafts spanning two and three storeys. Site levels were strategically raised – within Statutory Approval limits – to contain non-compactable fill beneath suspended structures with loadings from 20kPa to 35kPa.
