Gadigal Station
This new Metro Station located in Sydney's southern CBD is located below Pitt and Castlereagh Streets and forms part of the new rail connection opening in 2024. The development comprises an Integrated Station Development (ISD) of five levels of basement, five levels of mixed commercial and a station at the North and South sites, as well as two Over Station Developments (OSD) of a 38 storey commercial tower and 34 storey residential tower sitting above the ISD. CPB Contractors engaged TSS for construction surveying services for the ISD in 2020, with the initial stages of construction being in ground works. The OSDs were later awarded to TSS in 2022, with our construction survey team delivering the project end to end. The Cadastral package was awarded to TSS in 2023 and involved the subdivision of the buildings.
Gadigal Station is a great example of a complicated subdivision and TSS’s ability to provide savings for builders. In June 2023, CPB engaged TSS to deliver the Pitt St North and Pitt St South subdivisions. These are stratum subdivision plans, which subdivide a building in three dimensions and create parcels of land limited in height, depth, and position. Under a stratum subdivision, owners share the buildings and structures, but from a management point of view, they are separate. By leveraging the survey data captured throughout the construction project, our Cadastral Surveyors were able to deliver the stratum subdivision plans with increased efficiency. Having spent thousands of hours on the project already gave us an in depth understanding of the building which greatly assisted with the subdivision.
Woolooware Bay
The Woolooware Bay project consists of 5 buildings. With 255 apartments set above its retail precinct, it features resort-style facilities including an infinity-edge pool, outdoor cabanas, barbecue facilities, contemporary children’s play areas and community rooms. The double-story retail centre covers approximately 18,000m² and embraces 50 specialty tenancies, 26 food and beverage tenancies, an ALDI, a Woolworths and a Dan Murphy’s.
In early 2021 TSS commenced with MOITS and APG on the piling works. There was a total of 554 piles that were set out and as-built as it was drilled. The first slab was poured in July and has since been a steady pace of pre and post pour surveys whilst maintaining a high standard in our control network.
Riverside Masterplan Project
TSS were engaged by ADCO Construction to carry out all general survey works, Including checking of structural steel erection, landscaping, services woks and set out of the art gallery. Our attention to detail and accuracy led us to be engaged by GPM Marine for overseeing set out and in-situ checks of construction of the jetty on the Shoalhaven River. We were also trusted to consult with the civil contractors, JBG Civil, as they did not have dedicated surveyors, so we assisted them with set out file conversions.
The project included a cantilevered bridge extending out over a valley which houses education and accommodation facilities and provides extensive views over the Shoalhaven River. Also, as part of the project is a large art gallery, with an earth fill root, built into the side of a hill. This gallery will be used to house and display priceless art works whilst protecting them from natural disasters A new jetty was also constructed, allowing visitors to access the site via the Shoalhaven River.
Architectural Steel Ribbons, Box Hill
Not a large job but definitely one of the more complex. The steel ribbons are the two rusted feature arcs on either side of the bridge. The job initially involved an arbitrarily set out of five base plates for the steel fabricators in their workshop – this was for Brolton Group. Once these were positioned and welded off, Brolton insisted that TSS continue to manage the survey works through to the end as we were familiar with the drawings and complexity of the project. Thus, we were engaged by Christie Civil. The complexity was primarily due to the northern base plates on each ribbon being at an angle of 18.2° and 18.3°. This made for interesting discussions and calculations as both height and position were critical, especially at the multiple stages of delivery where each variation from design would impact all of the prefabricated components.
Brolton Group upon completion of the survey work, thanked TSS for their involvement in what they described as one of the easiest and smoothest installs they have had to date.
Jordan Springs East
Jordan Springs community plans consist of 1,300 new residential lots together with commercial/retail facilities, parks and open space.TSS has been responsible for all site set-outs to date and for all subcontracting crews – stormwater, sewer, culverts, pavements, kerbs, retaining walls, underground services. We are also providing the client with ongoing GPS models, volumes/reports, calc’s of design info.
EW1, EW2 and EW4 were the first earthwork sections to be completed towards the end of 2016. Along with these was the construction of a 1.5km Connector Road linking the subdivision back to Jordan Springs.
TSS continue to push forward with aiding the client with Stormwater Redesigns where issues occur with existing Services and where the Design has not covered an area correctly, complete Design of the Main Bridge Abutment Earthworks (Design & Construct) at the client’s request, UAV Flights for Particular Earthwork Volumes, Imagery and Checks. As well as regular Drafting and Calculating. EW3 is currently under construction and due for completion mid 2017.
