Having secured this contract by leveraging an innovative concrete hardstand slab system, Hansen Yuncken successfully delivered the Australian Container Freight Services Logistics Terminal. The concrete hardstand slab system utilises a combination of fibre-reinforced concrete and heavy reinforcing mesh, enabling the project team to utilise a reasonably thin slab in areas which are vulnerable to differential settlement. These areas would usually require a thick conventional slab or post-tensioned slab; Hansen Yuncken’s solution delivered enhanced value for money to the client.
This $32 million Design and Construct project delivered extensive facilities including a 25,000m2 warehouse building, attached 125m2 warehouse office, a 680m2 free-standing, single-level office building with attached café, as well as approximately 45,000m2 of concrete hardstand and driveway areas.
