A normal design solution would have involved padding the slab with compacted sand and placement of the aquatic features on that base \u2013 but the mass of the pools and sand would have exceeded the capacity of the piles, leading to their uneven settlement and ultimately cracking and damage of the new development.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As a consequence, Airey Taylor Consulting investigated alternatives to the sand base, utilising structural high density polystyrene foam that lightened the overall load on the concrete piling and slab.\u00a0 It was necessary to determine the long-term deformation of the polystyrene to ensure even settlement.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The beautiful aesthetic of the resulting aquatic precinct fits the overall design of Crown Towers, the Award winning 6 star hotel which is now the largest hotel complex in Western Australia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Winner of National and State Excellence in Construction awards, the engineering on this beautiful Aquatic development met the difficult challenges presented by the site, while adding function and elegance to the 6 star Crown Towers resort in Perth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":5670,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"dt_portfolio_category":[95,94,129,99],"featured":[87],"class_list":["post-5669","project","type-project","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","dt_portfolio_category-aquatic","dt_portfolio_category-recreational","dt_portfolio_category-resorts","dt_portfolio_category-swimming-pools","featured-featured"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/atconsulting.com.au\/_staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/5669","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/atconsulting.com.au\/_staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/atconsulting.com.au\/_staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/project"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/atconsulting.com.au\/_staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/5669\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atconsulting.com.au\/_staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5670"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/atconsulting.com.au\/_staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5669"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"dt_portfolio_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atconsulting.com.au\/_staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/dt_portfolio_category?post=5669"},{"taxonomy":"featured","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atconsulting.com.au\/_staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/featured?post=5669"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
