527 Orrong Road, Armadale – Multi-storey Apartment
Miglic MacLeod was engaged to provide structural and civil design services for a 4-storey high-end apartment residence on Orrong Road in Armadale.
One of the key challenges was the double – storey basement, which the owners wanted to use as a car parking space. Rainwater drainage was a major concern in the lower basement and a challenge for the civil drainage design.
Our civil engineers proposed the use of a water tank and the installation of a stormwater pump station system at the lower basement level to protect the area from being flooded during a rainfall event.
Our structural engineers also explored the design and aesthetic opportunities for the residence to use reinforced concrete materials. Our team utilised ground anchors for the retention structure of the double-storey basement. This consisted of a bored pier and shotcrete wall system. These components provided extra strength and resilience for the building.
We also worked closely with the architect and our client to achieve fire ratings requirements. Our team have assured the thickness of materials required based on the Fire Resistance Level (FRL) satisfy NCC requirements.
