Airey Taylor Consulting is pleased to announce the launch of new firm, Advanced Substructures.
This firm has been created to specifically focus upon the innovative techniques pioneered during Airey Taylor’s long history of excellence for solutions below ground both in Perth and around Australia.
Projects completed using these design techniques include Australia’s recognised Best Office Building – Church House – celebrated in the 2017 Master Builders’ Association Excellence in Construction Awards.
This stunning building, designed by Architect Kerry Hill, was brought to fruition by PACT Construction in partnership with Airey Taylor – delivering a design deemed unbuildable by several leading contractors due to the challenging nature of the site. PACT Construction noted that this project was brought alive using Advanced Substructures’ innovative “top down” construction techniques to deliver the project with minimal disruption to the heritage listed buildings or commercial traffic surrounding the site.
This top down design method has consistently made challenging projects viable to construct through reduced risk and increased profitability – including cost savings of 24 percent at Cockburn Gateway Shopping City’s Stage 3 shopping centre. Other advantages of these techniques include shorter construction times, optimised use of underground space and reduction of environmental impacts – both above and below the ground water table.
Advanced Substructures technology includes patent pending techniques, and is appropriate for any project which could benefit from the best possible substructures – from optimised spaces for traditional car parks, storage and tunnels to innovative designs for commercial, residential or other purposes.
Additionally, Advanced Substructures offers a raft of solutions for building on clay and remediating structural damage from clay based soil movement. Australians spend up around $315 million per annum on reinforcement and foundation stiffening – yet despite this, an astonishing number of buildings experience cracking from clay based movement even with mitigation strategies in place. Foundation failure is the single largest source of insurance claims for civil engineering in Australia and a major source of litigation.
With their patented Claylock system and Retroclay remediation techniques, Advanced Substructures can make building on clay a possibility for areas with high plasticity clay content soils, and has been demonstrated to be successful on dozens of projects.
