Building 2 has 3 levels with retail and offices on the ground floor and more offices on the upper 2 floors.
GWE was commissioned to provide the civil design for the development including earthworks, 3 waters and pavement design.
An analysis of predicted sea level rise over a range of scenarios was considered and used to set the floor level for the basement. A structurally integral, water resistant basement was designed.
3 waters design included an analysis of all existing infrastructure with appropriate upgrades, where required.
Stormwater reticulation was design to meet the demands of the 1 in 10 year storm event and flows in excess were design to drained in overland flow paths that protected the development from surface flooding.
