Storage King Taren Point
Project Description
Engaged to construct a Storage King Self Storage facility at Taren Point, the core of the structure consisted of suspended slabs, structural steel and metal roofing.
Overcoming Challenges
The land was classified with soil contamination being largely in the form of methane gas. The project team were required to engage a consultant to manage the process of soil remediation taking 4 weeks.
Extensive work was also necessary on the façade. It was critical to ensure that scaffolding and mobile equipment had sufficient work space to allow other programmed works to continue and not be affected.
Innovations
Post tensioned slabs with joints were utilised to avoid the use of a welded membrane. This saved the client $250,000 along with reducing TOTAL’s time spent during the remediation process.
