Mount Druitt Commuter Car ParkReview of Environmental Factors3.2.3. Engineering constraintsThe key engineering constraints relating to the Proposal include:An existing partly demolished structure located on site;The existing western boundary retaining wall and security fence are to bemaintained. Some sections are being supported by the existing structure andwould need temporary propping during construction. Permanent support by thenew structure would be provided;An existing sub-station and associated underground high voltage lines to berelocated;Preliminary geotechnical investigations identified weak shale at depth. Tocompensate <strong>for</strong> this, pile footings may be required; andA requirement <strong>for</strong> the design to include provision <strong>for</strong> two additional suspendedlevels.3.3. Construction activities3.3.1. Work methodologyIt is anticipated that construction would commence in March 2011. The constructionduration <strong>for</strong> the works associated with the Proposal is estimated at approximately 11months, dependant on the construction program proposed by the contractor. Thiswould be developed further during the detailed design phase of the project. The keyconstruction activities are described as discrete tasks below however some may beundertaken in parallel or in a different order to that presented.The above construction duration estimate is based on the following approach toconstruction:Establish site boundary fencing;Establish erosion and sedimentation control measures;Demolish the existing suspended concrete slab / column structures;Remove redundant services;Hazmat survey and asbestos removal;Site clearing and establishment;Prepare <strong>for</strong> substructure i.e. drainage points and service relocation;Construct the piles, pile caps and footing beams;Construct stormwater drainage infrastructure including pits and pipe work;Construct the columns and walls;Construct superstructure (floor slabs and ramps);Construct the ground floor slabs;Install car barriers, screens and other non-structural elements; andUndertake external works such as landscaping and paving.KMH-2010123a REF Rev 4 doc Page 22 of 116Status: Final
