Conventional pad footings were used with tilt-up concrete perimeter retaining walls around the upper and lower basement. Walls were tilted to the full 5 storey height with tilt panels including the lift cores. Floor slabs were a insitu Bondek slab system with concrete reinforced band beams for ground and typical floors. The structure has a flat plate roof slab, and an innovative 4 storey high precast concrete column allowed bedroom balconies to cantilever over the car ramp which was located adjacent to the building on the narrow site.<\/p>\n<p>The result was very rapid construction on this award winning project.<\/p>\n<p>Structural elements of City Lights which are of interest are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Stair core and lift core, east and west walls, were precast concrete panels, precast on site and erected full height although designed for two precast lifts<\/li>\n<li>Floors were cast in-situ band beams supporting permanent Bondek formwork with cast in-situ slabs<\/li>\n<li>Balcony edge beams dominant column visible on the south fa\u00e7ade was precast full height<\/li>\n<li>Footings were pad footings on sand<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Luxury award winning apartment complex utilised pre-cast concrete panels and tilt-up construction to streamline building time and result in a superb finish<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":6017,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"dt_portfolio_category":[114,128,101,91,142,125],"featured":[87],"class_list":["post-6016","project","type-project","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","dt_portfolio_category-multi-storey","dt_portfolio_category-multi-storey-residential","dt_portfolio_category-post-tensioned-concrete","dt_portfolio_category-pre-cast-concrete","dt_portfolio_category-residential","dt_portfolio_category-tilt-up-walling-system","featured-featured"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/atconsulting.com.au\/_staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/6016","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\/6016\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6170,"href":"https:\/\/atconsulting.com.au\/_staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/6016\/revisions\/6170"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atconsulting.com.au\/_staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6017"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/atconsulting.com.au\/_staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6016"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"dt_portfolio_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atconsulting.com.au\/_staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/dt_portfolio_category?post=6016"},{"taxonomy":"featured","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atconsulting.com.au\/_staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/featured?post=6016"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
