The project was also notable for the use of top-down construction of basement mezzanine floor and 60% of higher level ground floor (balance formed off mezzanine floor) on a steeply sloping sand hill site. The soil retention system used an via a continuous flight augered cast in situ concrete piles at discrete centres linked by super fine cement injected grout.<\/p>\n<p>The superstructure was mainly timber framed but the striking cantilever of up to 5 metres on the three apartments was achieved by the use of a steel\/timber portal in one direction and plywood with membrane over timber frame in the other with particular care taken to achieve wind loading for the coastal area.<\/p>\n<p>Airey Taylor Consulting provided subsequent design for glass fibre reinforced polymer reinforcement to give longevity in a marine environment &#8211; as this reinforcement prevents the formation of concrete cancer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>KEY DESIGN ELEMENTS:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a title=\"Top-down Construction\" href=\"http:\/\/atconsulting.com.au\/top-down-construction\/\">Top Down Construction<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Post tensioned slab design\" href=\"http:\/\/atconsulting.com.au\/post-tensioned-slab-design\/\">Post tension slab design<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer\" href=\"http:\/\/atconsulting.com.au\/glass-fibre\/\">Glass fibre reinforced polymer<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Multi level luxury apartment complex in Scarborough was designed for the use of glass fibre reinforced polymer reinforcement in concrete for the aquatic environment, top-down construction design, and post-tensioned concrete slabs for reinforcement<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":5838,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"dt_portfolio_category":[120,118,97,114,128,101,143,142,103],"featured":[87],"class_list":["post-5837","project","type-project","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","dt_portfolio_category-car-park","dt_portfolio_category-civil","dt_portfolio_category-glass-fibre-reinforced-polymer","dt_portfolio_category-multi-storey","dt_portfolio_category-multi-storey-residential","dt_portfolio_category-post-tensioned-concrete","dt_portfolio_category-private-residence","dt_portfolio_category-residential","dt_portfolio_category-top-down-construction","featured-featured"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/atconsulting.com.au\/_staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/5837","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":1,"href":"https:\/\/atconsulting.com.au\/_staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/5837\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6081,"href":"https:\/\/atconsulting.com.au\/_staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/5837\/revisions\/6081"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atconsulting.com.au\/_staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5838"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/atconsulting.com.au\/_staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5837"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"dt_portfolio_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atconsulting.com.au\/_staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/dt_portfolio_category?post=5837"},{"taxonomy":"featured","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atconsulting.com.au\/_staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/featured?post=5837"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
