Concrete Sleeper Walls Queensland from Concrib

Concrib maximises land values in Dakabin with
2,500 square metres of concrete sleeper walls

Summary

Project: 125 Lot Residential sub-division
Client: Civil Contractors Ply. Ltd.
Location: Alma Road, Dakabin, Old
Slats: Approx 2,500 square metres of concrete sleeper walls.
Consultant: Queensland Structural Engineering

Concrib was commissioned to construct approximately 2,500 square metres of concrete sleeper walls at a residential development in Dakabin.

Project challenges
Although the natural sub-grade material appeared to be suitable stiff clays, the site was plagued by areas of very high ground water levels and subterranean springs. In addition, complex multi-level four-way wall intersections were required where some lots adjoined.

Concrib's solutions
As a consequence of this, some sections of the site required that the footing details of the walls be redesigned to compensate for the changed geotechnical conditions. Some piers for the high and tiered sections of walling were required to be 600mm in diameter and up to 5 metres deep complete with a full spiral reo-cage.

Maximising land values
In this project, the Concrib team made use of the new tinted sealant - proving that concrete sleeper walls don't have to be grey, rather they can be coloured to blend in well with their surroundings. Hot-dipped galvanised steel posts were used thereby providing and extremely narrow construction footprint for the walls that aligns with Concrib's commitment to maximising land values.
