This aged care facility was constructed on a tight site surrounded by residential buildings and the Toongabbie Sports Club.
Back lane access to the Sports Club at the rear of the construction site had to be carefully managed so as not to affect club deliveries, but also to minimize construction delays.
Initial earthworks were complicated by the discovery of both asbestos remnants and acid sulphate within the subgrade, necessitating careful stock piling of both contaminated and clean material and the implementation of screw piles to minimize subgrade disturbance.
Apart from Covid and wet weather difficulties, design changes during construction were well managed by the site team, particularly the addition of external balconies.
The Aged Care Facility is of significant size at 128 bed capacity, and it has been completed to a noticeably high standard.
