Project profile.
Client: | BluePrint/Hutchinson Builders |
Value: | $600K |
Timeline: | 2021 |
Brief:
For this commercial retaining wall project, we used Versawall and Vertiblock type walls to create a structural design. Retained heights measured from 1m up to 6m on the boundary, and provided support to barriers and trafficable areas in several locations.
challenges & successes:
Some of the challenges present were the complex boundary interactions with the neighbouring problem, and the heavy surcharge loading to support future adjacent development.
the rare innovation:
In the end, Rare were able to provide an improved outcome for the project aesthetically and economically by adapting and engineering the Versawall and Vertiblock systems.
key benefits:
Provided expertise to both client and builder enabling them to implement a better solution from both cost and aesthetic appeal (when compared to the original design solution). Provided local support to assist builder in resolving issues on and in the ground.
